ok so my car was down for a while because i had a lil street drift accident. I ended up snapping my camber arm and bending my toe arm along with the shock. I replaced the camber arms and toe arms and went to get the car aligned. Car goes straight now but i have noticed that when i hit 40+mph the rear end feels like it wants to come out or feels like it wiggles. Would a bent shock be causing this??? Its not extremely bent. That is my only conclusion but maybe someone on here can give a different insight.

 

So you know for sure that the shock is bent?

 

Just a suggestion. Put a subject in the subject line like

Squeaking brakes

instead of

Need help immediately

If you don't help right away I will die!

 

yes a bent shock can cause the problems your having. i say get a 2nd and 3rd opininion then get everything fixed at once. finally get a alignment in the front and rear.

 

Yeah, its not bent bad but there is a small dent in it. I was shown when i only purchased the camber arms. I saw that the toe link was slightly bent and i figured that i could get it aligned anyways for the time being just so i could have my car but the mechanic told me that my shock was bent and that he couldnt adiust anything since the toe link was bent, so i bought the toe links also and put those on along with the camber arms. Went to get it aligned at a different tire shop and when it was done i was told that the fronts were back too 100% and that the passenger rear was 100% but the drivers rear (were the accident was) could only get aligned 95%. The mechanic told me that he didnt know why it wouldnt adjust anymore and asked if i knew if there was anything wrong with it, i told him that the previous mechanic that i took it to get aligned the first time told and showed me where it was bent. This guy said that, that could very well be why it wont adjust anymore. But after getting it done the car drives straight now were as before it looked like the car was going sideways the whole time. But after taking it on the highway i noticed this problem. Even when i hit lil bumps in the road it feels like that. If a bent shock would cause this then im ok with that as im getting coilovers within the next week or so just depends when i get my school loan. If its not the shock then id hate to get coilovers even though im still gonna have the same problem. I was also told from another person that maybe my bushing in my front control arms are out. Could that be it also??? Thanks for the replies!
