replace the sway bar link and align it, you'll be aight.

That's were you will get your estimate on what needs to be fixed. None of us are there to inspect it for you. If you hit a curb at 25+, I'm gussing more than just the bushing and swaybar is going to messed up.

 

If you bring it to a shop they are going to tell you that you need this and that and you'll end up spending your money on unnessasary repairs that could otherwise go towards go fast goodies, but if the car can be aligned after sway bar link replacement then there most likely isn't any parts that are bent. i wouldn't be worried other than a bent wheel that would cause a vibration.

 

Unless you're absolutley positive there is nothing wrong with it, don't drive it, and get it fixed right. If you're sure that's all there is to be fixed, then buy the parts jack it up and fix it. It's not that difficult a fix.

 

i agree with tyte-S.....if your sure there's nothing else wrong with it just swap the endlink yourself....its not hard at all........it'll prob take you longer to get the tools and jack the car up....than the install will....but to be safe i'd take it to your tuner just to be safe...if you cracked the lca...you could end up w some significant damage...it happened to my cuz

 

 

if you need rear knuckles i've got a perfect set that has been sitting and i need to get rid of.

 

the body shop will own you. you said the mechanical repairs have been done, correct? If all of the alignment angles are in spec, then leave the frame alone. If your car is lower your camber will be out regardless but it shouln't be by much. They should have gave you a printout when they completed the algnment. seariously the body shop will make a big deal out of everything.

 

You should have brought the car in with a new endlink and just asked for an alignment. I bet you would have had an aligned car with no "you need this and this and this" suggestions from the mechanic. If there REALLY was more problems, they should have found them that way.
