FLAME WARNING:

I'm here for help. I try to offer help when I can, and now I need some so please don't flame me.

Okay, here's my delima. I'm out with a friend drifting about. I had been drifting the two previous nights, and I've even had prior instruction from Hokori Shin's School of Specialized Driving, so I was a little confident in my ability to handle a turn sideways. Not to mention the fact that I've done this turn AT LEAST ten (10) times before.

. . .But I digress . . .

I was drifting, and, on the same turn that I had done several times before, I countersteered too much and lost control. Luckly, all I did was bring my front end up onto a curb.

Here's my problem. I bent and snapped a few parts and I was wondering if there was a website or place that I could go to, to get these parts. I'm not Donald Trump, so if you guys could help me find a website that can get me these parts for cheap, I would greatly appreciate it.

I put a link to the illustration so you can see what it is exactly that I bent and broke. I will have pictures up soon of what the ACTUAL parts look like on my car. Because I also need help to see what ELSE might be broken and/or in need of repair.

Thank you,
-Dave

Hopefully that will help out some of you. Once again, I will post more pictures so that you can see just how badly it's messed up.

EDIT-I believe the parts that I messed up are the lower control arm, the lower ball joint and the bushings. But I'm no mechanic, I'm just a driver from a little school outside of Nago, Japan.

Also, if it helps, the wheel is pushed about 4-5 inches back so that it cannot turn left or right without touching the rear part of the wheel well. That may be because of the control arm being bent.

Once again, if you can help, I would greatly appreciate it.

THANKS

you probably broke the same thing everyone else breaks when they give too much counter. pic doesn't work for me so, i'm going to take a guess.

most likely an LCA and tension rod might need replacing... but, do inspect everything else. especially the tie rods.
