Hello all,

I've recently been in a curb accident on my 2005 350z, and both of my left side wheels caved in. I found the issues and replaced the rear left camber and toe/trailing arms since they were bent, and the front had its spindle broken so I replaced that too. The car now runs and it's at least drivable.

However I went to the alignment shop the other day and they told me that they can't align my car because something on the front left is bent, and they can't figure out what it is by the eye. They said the right side front and back are fine, and also the rear left was fine. But they said the front left will pull hard but they can't figure out what it is. I saw it had a -3 degree of toe on the front left, and when I drive it, the center of the steering wheel is off by like 30 degrees turned to the right and that's when it goes straight. I know that's an alignment issue but if I let go of the steering wheel the car pulls to the left hard, so I have to be holding the wheel the whole time I drive at a 30 degree angle putting pressure on it to stay like that otherwise I crash and die.

Any ideas on what's making it pull? I'm getting a compression arm to see if that fixes it, but if that doesn't work I'm out of ideas. The wheels are fine, and has almost new tires in them, so it cant be the tires pulling it if that helps. Also, I think the ABS sensor is also bad because I have ABS VDS OFF SLIP lights on, and something is wrong with the brakes since the BRAKE light stays on even after I pull down my brakes.

Any help would be much appreciated

 

A good body shop will have the tools to find the bent parts and replace.

 

My hopes are we have a Dugan competitor
