Default 3/4 inch Lower

was recently pushing my Z and span out (spare me the "retard" comments) long story short i hit the curb with my front passenger side tire. Consequently that side is lower than the opposite side. Any ideas of what could have happened? Again i know im retarded for spinning out. I just want to know what could be wrong with the car and how much it might cost to fix it. Is it repairable? Any replies would be greatly appreciated people
-thank you in advance

check that your sway bar link is still attached, check your front suspension component compare to the non-curb-check'd side...

Post up some pictures...

It's ok to be stupid, you just cant get caught being stupid...

Is it drivable?

Default Drivability

Yes the car is drivable, you wouldn't know the passenger side is lower when you're driving it. The alignment is okay too, im not sure if that makes a difference. I'll get pics asap. A big concern is if it's fixable. And if it is how much would i be looking at? Nothing looks bent out of shape or anything

Dude,
Quit asking for help when folk can't see your ****ing car. All you have to do is take it to an alignment shop when you get out of school and get an estimate. Get a written estimate of the cost and what needs repair. And the estimate should be free.

Come back after you have someone look at it.

Here's your spoon-feed.

You should probably sell it.

It's a 350Z forum and since the cars are cheaper than they used to be, we are all just teenagers named Dougan playing demolition derby with our cars.

That means we have all nailed curbs and know exactly what causes your car to show no damage but sit 3/4" lower.



OP: Go hit the curb with the other 3 corners and you got a free lowering kit.

There is no way alignment is still true when one corner's height is changed. Just go to a shop and get a visual check.

Maybe you just scraped a pull. Time to rim up and get a killer system.

Nos won't help. Send a PM to Dugan. He had a similar issue and can point you in the right direction.






Don't be mad OP. You came in here sounding like a retard wanting spoon fed info. And at the same time didn't even give us anything to work with as far as real info or pics. There is no ****ing way your alignment is fine with one corner sitting low.

Maybe you should just ride a bicycle.
