Default Hit curb need help



My 350z recently met a curb while drifting going roughly 15-20 at an angle. Ive already ordered my lower control arm with the ball joint, the upper arm and new coil assemblies for the front but just wanna know if anything else looks bad.

There's no way to know how many parts were damaged from a few photos. But that looks like a huge hit, and you should probably find an alignment shop to work with and have a tech give you a list of parts to be replaced before you get a new four-wheel alignment. Don't forget to replace the wheel and tire as well.

Upper arm is likely fine, but I would get the rear lower arm and knuckle as well as, or instead of the upper, it’s called tension arm/compression rod. As well I’m sure your hub/bearing took a good part of that hit, and may be bad currently or will develop a noise later.

Good call on the hub bearing being suspect and in need of replacement after that hit.

did you go straight at it, or was the wheel turned? If the wheel isn’t bent it’s probably fine, but personally I’d change the tire-looks like a hard hit.

The best way to check a wheel is to dismount the tire and have a wheel shop inspect both the inside and outside for excessive runout.

I know the spindle will bend with a hard hit, not that easy to measure
