Ok, so today I was driving in the rain, nothing really abnormal. I was driving back to my friends house and to get there there is this nice s turn. Anyway. now that have the r/t exhaust on, I cant judge my speed like I could with my srt pipe on and I entered the turn at about 35-40 MPH when the speed limit is 30 then..... the unthinkable happened... The car hit a puddle and hydroplaned then hit a bump almost simultaniously and I lost control, spun out and ended up in the other lane facing the other way.... the curb is the thing that stopped me and well, now my rear tire is pushed in pretty bad. had someone look at it real quick (a friend who worked on cars before) and he says I bent a tie rod (control arm)

now I'm hoping that the connecting rod is the only thing damaged but I know it could also be the stut or something wrong with the hub/knuckle itself. The rim is fine but the suspention on the passenger side rear is FUBAR

has anything like this happened to any of you? and was had to be replaced? and how much do you think I'll be spending on repair?

 

Speedometer FTL

 

I might add I was talking to my friends too. and I wasnt paying attention to the speedometer because I havent gotten back into the habit of looking at it D'oh

 

i once broke an axle bearing if that counts >=]

 

how you do that?

 

today i drove through some train tracks going like 45....................... :'(

 

uh oh alignment for you!.... and me as soon as I repair it

 

ummmm ive gotten a tie rod replaced when i first got my neon... The tie rod cost about me about 50 dollars depending on where you get it.... It didnt cost me that much to get it replaced but the alignment is what cost me the most

 

ok, nice. hope i dont spend over 150-200

by the way, it's the black connecting rod in the back, u know, the arms

 

ohhhh thats not called a tie rod then
