haha, i fixed mine for a total of $203. new control arm, ball joint, rod ends. Woot! Even better after putting it all back in the alignment is perfect. Laugh, how often can someone take out a wheel and bend the whole control arm and still maintain almost perfect alignment. Going to replace the other control arm because i think the bushings are toast anyway. Was so cheap i figure why not. Also bring the car by the shop sometime so it can be looked at. Just call me. Also I have decided to keep the kit for the car as i am getting it completely repainted and all the body work done. Hope to get it done in a few weeks. Just gotta decide on some stuff.. Color is the main part. Really thinking a pure white with some blue perl in it. Have to see.

Yeah. I am just cheap and needed it done quick. Took us about 20 minutes to replace the parts . So all in all was done fast and cheap. Now i need to see why my low beams are dead. Thinking a relay or something.

10mph? and it bent the engine cradle??? I ran my Solara into a curb going at least 35mph, and all that broke in the suspension was the control arm. Ruined the fender too though.....Road Rage is baaaaaaad. :oops:

Tony, one word of advice: Try not to dig up old posts; flame warning.
