Pm sent.

 

So instead of taking it somewhere my stepdad (done a lot of mechanic work in his earlier years) insist on doing it himself. which i am fine with. he has a pit and all so thats good. we looked at it tonight and he thinks this is all thats messed up:





Seems to be the rear traction arm and rear traction link? Look right to you guys?

 

No. Something definitely looks wrong with that.

 

dear god,

please be with hellman_x as he is completely stupid and will die at a young age due to Darwin's Theory of Evolution

In Jesus name we pray,
Amen

 

Not quite.

 

Please, for the love of sweet little baby Jesus, meet me at a track day so I can watch you and your super awesome bald tire traction *** slide into a wall.

You obviously know nothing about tire tread and tire compounds.

 

Lmao you actually looked that up... Cool man!

 

Did I ever say I would track a bald tire? A bald street tire will never compare to a actual race tire, did I mention that in any of my posts? Depending the lap of a real track, the tire would probably not last a lap anyways before it blows because of the friction generated. I've driven on bald tires for a week while waiting for my spacers to ship to put my rims on. Not once did the car ever feel squirmy or slip, however in the rain it was terrifying, I didn't go above 50 on the highway.

 

As opposed to Mario Andretti who jumped the curb trying to turn his car? With kids like him on the road driving a sports car no wonder our car has high fatality rates, of course daddy will fix it for him.

 

I'm sorry when did Mario get brought into that?? Mario is actually my cousin and i know for a fact that he doesnt own a 350...silly kid

u are just trying to distract away from the fact that u are an idiot...

 

Ok tell me how a bald road tire will have less traction than a road tire with treads. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. He is the original poster so yea, maybe that's how he's involved. How old are you again?

 

LMFAO!

 

Its all about how the tire is made...as u get closer to the wear bars the less sticky the tire will be...please refer to my friend google and research tire compounds and how they are made...i promise u the 2 mm gaps that brand new tires have in there precisely placed will help and not hurt u...

dont get butt hurt cuz u are wrong btw im only 16 and daddy pays for my car so what do i know...

 

okay children...

let's have this be a forum and not myspace/facebook.

could a moderator please step in?

 

If you hit the curb hard enough to break the front wheel (fourth picture), I'll bet there's some suspension damage there, too. You'll find out when you try to have the car aligned.

 

Several people have explained this to you. As a tire wears, the sticky rubber gets removed. Here's an idea: Go find a NEW street radial, and stick your thumbnail into it. Now find a bald street radial, and do the same. Last, find a NEW R compound tire and stick your nail in it. Notice the difference? While you're at it, heat each one up and do the same thing.

Other than the different compounds, you also have to keep in mind what the grooves are designed to do. The grooves are designed to channel dirt, sand, water, gravel, and all that other stuff out of the tires contact patch.

 

I'm praying there's not. We had it jacked up and from what we could see it just looked un-aligned. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

 

Thanks for an actual response with an explanation, instead of the typical "you're retarded" response. Now I know better.

 

Sorry I don't get butt hurt by kids on the forums, but thanks for explaining it to me.
