so i was getting on to the freeway but the on ramp was one of those that loop into the freeway. Well i was going pretty quick mayb 25mph and my car understeered right into the curb. ftw. Well i got off to check the damages but it was at night so i checked what i could. it seems like only the radius rod and the front sway bar endlink was damaged (Driver side). i want to know what else i should check. the radius rod split @ the knuckle. i checked the axle, subframe, and forsure i need an alignment again. Everything looks okay
Also I am purchasing a new radius rod but i know it comes with a lot of bushings and hardware. should i buy all new hardware or use the exsisting hardware and just change the radius rod? thanx guys

I would suggest tightening up that suspension so you can handle the corners a little better.

:coffee:

only time ive ever hit a curb like that i bent the wheel. i would think your alignment shop would be able to tell you if anything else is bent.


...then buy the progress rsb so you can take thos turns

25MPH isn't "quick at all. and your car under-steered? or you did? theres something missing in this story.
no offense but i've never seen any entrance loop in any state on any road that was marked 25mph that when taken at 25 mph would be a problem.

sounds alcohol related

i agree

just have a shop check it out.
slow down.
don't drink and drive (even if you weren't it's still good advice).
coil overs
RSB
Strut bar
under-bracing
and maybe in your case a wrap around bumper like go karts have.
