ok so 3 days ago i crashed my z. i had the vdc off and i was going around 30 MPH and the car spun out and slammed against the curb due to my back tire blowing out. i trashed 2 work emotion kais and the toe of the car looked majorly fudged since it stuck out. when i looked under the car the rear right lower control arm was realllyyyyy bent. therefore figured if i purchased a new one it would fix my problems. so today i spent a couple hours changing it out and then i put it back on thinking i was in the clear. but no. it was still toeing out slightly and we got in the car and the allignment was wayyyy off. not only that but the VDC and slip button are illuminated and cannot be shut off. the rear tires squeel when going over 25 MPH and the car feels like it wil loose control if i turn it to the left hard, the tires will squeel louder by the way. by the way i have stance coilovers. everything underneath looks fine and not bent. does anyone know whats wrong??? btw i put stock 07 rims on the car.
PLEASE HELP ME im hurting over here!

 

The first time I had VDC + Slip on it was because of a bad ABS sensor on my rear wheel, second time was because my brake fluid was low

If you've got a friend at a dealership, just hook it up to the consult... that'd take a lot of the guesswork out; then leave and do the work yourself.

How comfortable are you with doing your own work? What kind of shop do you have access to?

 

i dont have access to a shop where i can hook it up for free. and i have a bunch of friends who help me repairing things like this... but the thing is when the lower conotrol arm was bent i drove it and none of the vdc or slip lights were on. then when we repaired the arm it tarted these problems... any ideas?

 

<P>


theres the lower control arm. and the new one next to it.
i cant figure out what i did wrong when installing it, maybe i forgot something! PLEASE HELP =( i really need my car and im broke =(

 

Can Someone Help Me I Really Need Help!!!

 

Thinking you need to take it to a dealer or a body shop and have it checked. You might have some frame damage. At the very least, I suspect you will need a good four wheel alignment.

i have no money. this is something i need to do on my own. i just jacked up the car and attempted to spin the tire and it felt veery rough and hard to spin....

 

Insurance?????????

 

nopppeee my insurance doesnt cover damage that i did to my car only damage done to the others... btw the wheel is very hard to rotate and the toe is very messed up

 

wheel alignment shop should be able to tell you what else is wrong and you take it from there.

 

Your going to need an alignment and ECU reset. Once you remove any sort of suspension its going to set off your VDC which will cause your car to act up.

 

alright cool honda killer im going to try an ecu reset and im going to try and fix my toe by adjusting my camber bc the toe still is out even though i replaced the rr loweer control arm, so anyways any other ideas while im at it to try? so far i have to adjust my camber bolts and reset my ecu.
