the car? ... probably, but you might as well buy a new car. it just depends what all is broken.

youre stupidity for "drifting" in the streets, no. Go to the track next time,

Do they let you lift your car and work on it at your school? Because that makes things go by 10 times faster. When I had my BB4 I changed out both axles from the point I lifted the car to the point I lowered the car in 35 minutes, there were 3 of us. If I did that on the ground by myself it would have taken at least 2 hours because I take my time.

make sure you check the front cross member and the position as well.

If it isn't in place right it could have your wheel pushed back toward the fender.....as well if it's bent.

Check everything else out before you just go and replace the lca...

and get an alignment when you're done
