I picked up this 91 DA9 hatchback about 2 months ago I actually traded a 240sx convertible for it, came with a 98 b20b, when I first got the car I could tell the steering was sketchy would pull left & right, super body roll & is on some blown struts & egay coils. I got the car because I missed driving a Honda/Acura and didn't wanna be dippin in an auto 240 with the rear vert window missing. Just makes me miss my 88 rx7 vert. It was missing the D link bushings & swaybar end link bushings, I've since replaced those but pretty much it goes like this. My girl surprised me with a weekend in Vegas just out of nowhere told me she booked us a room. We didn't wanna take her 4runner cause of gas so took the da9 wasn't in my name or insured lol made it back & forth without a hitch. Didn't drive it for a day, next day go get gas and food I'm in residential area around the corner from my house I hear a pop then boom passenger wheel shot up into my fender and broke my axle, front support bar that goes from lca to front crossmember. I replaced the lca you can see was bent visually along with the front support bar but now my cars like this, stupid 1 wheel hellaflush. I'm pretty sure my rack and pinions messed up, could I just replace inner tie rods I just changed the outers. I know it needs am alignment but it shouldn't be this off. I tried adjusting toe and I got it a little better but yeah can't dry just eats tire








Is my subframe bent? Is the front crossmember bent wtf??
Need to get back on the road ASAP but don't just wanna throw parts at it. I'm gonna replace the struts, rack & pinion , but is that the reason my cars all toe'd out

Just get a new car, it's a DA. I think people pay you to take those now lol.

 

^ That's not a very helpful post FlewByU352. EusebioSam19 its hard to tell from the pics you posted. Take more and better pics and maybe someone will have a better idea of whats going on.

 

Sounds like your egay coil broke and caused a chain of events.

 

I have my eg, this is my daily. I'm gonna replace all the bushings & egay coils to function & form or something idk. Something cheap as its just my daily.

 

How's your lower ball looking. You need to remove the wheel and take some more detail pics because I can't see anything out of the ordinary.

 

Balljoints look fine my bad for no further explanation but the 2 front views are with the steering wheel straight & what's supposed to be both wheels straight.

 

first of all, get a proper alignment. you cant just eyeball it our you will be paying for new tires real soon. if it is still not within spec, then something is either bent or you got the wrong lower control arm.

 

Tires need replacement anyways, I'm selling this shell since I picked up a 91 crx si & am gonna rape the b20 out of my DA.although I would still like to fix this problem before selling.

 

as i said you cant eyeball specs. but to the best of the eyeballing capabilities your picture of your eyeballed specs enables me to eyeball, i can eyeball that you have lots of eyeballed toe-out. lol
