Hello everyone,
I recently hit a wall with my 350z and broke the front steering knuckle/shock completely in half (the wheel was under the car) I had the car for 10 years prior and want to keep it because it was my very first car. I love everything about it! I'm not rich but i started to replace everything on a budget. I can't figure out the suspension deal. I replaced the the knuckle that broke, the hub, pretty much everything in the wheel well. I have MR inner/outter tie rods, MR rear adjustable camber arms, spc toe bolts. I also bought megan racing EZII street coilovers (not true coilovers) the spring and the shock are separate in the rear. After I matched everything up and installed them one side sits lower that the other? I don't know why the bushings look fine and the frame doesn't look twisted. I tried raising one side and it still seems to be lower. Along with that the toe is off and with the adjustable camber arms and spc toe bolt I still can't get it aligned in spec. I'm looking to get spl rear mid links/ spring buckets. Do you guys think that will help with one side sitting lower? I think it should help the toe forsure and getting that in spec. And my 2nd question is do yall think the MR EZII springs will fit in the spl rear mid links/spring buckets? they said something about 2.5" I'd spring?

thank you in advance

Here are some before and after pics of the ride height
how bad the crash was and the rear suspension.

 

"Send it" to the scrapyard

 

It's done for

 

Alright I'll junk it tomorrow

 

Maybe you should drive bumper cars

 

Lol ya probably!!! or not push everything to its limit.

 

Nah son.....that is lack of driving skill.

 

No.... you pushed beyond YOUR limits, not the car's.

 

Thank you guys for verifying that my dreams are crushed and I can't drive. But on the flip side the car Is probably beyond repair?

 

Install Energy suspension shock bushings in that location then recheck height. If height is still off, raise the suspension since you have coilovers.

 

The rear articulates and poli bushings will eventually start cracking and falling apart. I have white line and barely drive and they are cracking, replacing them with SPL in the spring

 

spl would be better but personally have had ES for the last 5+ years without issue

 

Awesome thank you for the serious replies I will look into pressing some new (spl) bushings in there. The bushing/ bolt on the driver's side is seized anyways and to get the bolt out we will have to cut/heat it which will result in damaging the bushing anyways. So I went ahead and purchased new bushings. Hopefully it works and I will keep those interested updated .
thanks again!

 

Trav, that's hilarious I got to meet you one day!

 

I know a lot of people that drift and wrecked their cars.
so ya i guess so? Yall are funny and should me up 😑

 

Cool story, bro.

 

Car is fixed with some new spl bushings, Z1 adjustable arms, and true coilovers. I wont get into posting pictures and what all needed to be done because seems like not to many people care or run into this problem. But just know she is ready to hit the track.

 

Glad you were able to get it together. Overhauling my suspension as well

 

The track or a curb?

 

Or a pole on Thanksgiving?
