I drifted into a curb a few minutes ago, and it looks like my front passenger control arms are bent (specifically the lower one) and my rear passanger toe and camber arms are bent as well...

My Front wheel is cocked inwards and is pushed back and is rubbing against the back of the fender well
My rear wheel is toed in too much and has positive camber

I was being an idiot and instead of giving it more gas and steering in, I let off the gas and the tail whipped.


So would these parts help me out?

I'm not sure if I need the upper control arm for my passenger side, as it looks good.

Yes those will work. Make sure you type in 2 instead of 1 for the rear camber arms and toe bolts.

Also you'll be upgrading when you do this and will allow a lot more adjustability when aligning, especially if you're lowered. I'm going the same route soon as I've got some sportlines on the way. No more S-Tech's for me

Mr. newbie above has no idea what he is talking about. Get your car to a collision shop and have the car looked at.

How in the hell are we supposed to give an opinion if we don't have the car to examine!

Don't do something else stupid. Get it to a body shop.

If your lower control arm is bent, you need to buy that from Nissan. The Cusco arms are upper a arms

I would take jetpilots suggestion and have the car inspected by either a collission shop, so you can get ALL the potential parts listed, and from there, buy what is needed

You also would be well advised to inspect your rear cross member now for cracks, as I've seen more than 1 Z that had rear impacts crack the entire rear subframe assembly (happened to one of our own cars here in fact)

Of course I will get it inspected just to make sure that nothing else is wrong, and you guys were indeed correct that I'll have to get the lower arm from Nissan.


Still can't believe I did that though.

Got ahold of nissan, need more then just that obviously:

Front/rear spindles
Bearings
Tie rod

And of course what I saw:
Front lower controll arm (Top A is good)
Rear camber/toe arms (Bent all up to hell), there saying about $1800 for parts...


But Insurance will cover it, since it was raining and I hit a median.

Thanks for being a dick. I was just implying that it would be a good route to go and probably cheaper than getting OEM parts and therefore being an upgrade. As for the body work...I was hoping that'd be obvious to get checked. As for the OEM parts that are damaged that there is no aftermarket parts for....I was thinking that'd be obvious too.

Then again Jetpilot couldn't miss the chance to be a dbag.

How reputable is a place like:

Also since I have a scratch on the front underside of my bumper, I can swing getting a front lip/bumper from my insurance as well, any suggestions?

Here are some pics of what Nissan said I'd need:

I can agree with most everything except the need for the spindles. I mean I'm not going to say I'm some wicked mechanic, but at the very most I would say that the bearings need to be replaced.
