Forums Forums red20 : Nissan 200ssx s14

well things arnt of to a good start . i was on my way into work when sumone came shooting across a round about to wards the side of my car an i had no choice but to drive onto the kerb at about 15-20mph which caused me to bend my lower suspention arm an take a large chunk out of my wheal. if i hadnt of moved out of the way he wud have taken the side of my car out but wot made it worse was that he drove of leaving me there. the parts have cost me £120 which is alot cheaper than a new side of a car. but all i hope is that things get better

i wudda let him hit me mate. That way ur car gets fixed up for FREE and u dont lose ur no claims,so ur not out of pocket at all. And maybe a bit of whippy (one thousand free pound coins at least)

it sounds bad but everyone does it.Cant believe u let the guy cause u to crash all on ur own

well ive bin hit buy people b4 an it does go against ur name an it wasnt the first thing in my mind

When you get the lower arm, check the condition of the ball joint as they often tend to split the rubbers when they are removed.

Nissan dont sell the ball joints seperatly, only with a complete bottom arm, so if the ball joints knackered you may need the complete item from Nissan.

There is a company in the states that will sell the ball joints on there own, if you need some gimmie a shout and Ill try and hunt the name down as I bought a pair for my 5 stud conversion - not cheap, but works out cheaper than the full Nissan bottom arm, plus Nissan UK wont recognise your chassis number for parts as it an import.

If the bottom arm has been bent, also check the tie rod and associated bushes, and the antiroll bar link arm.

Nice, take it easy tho, ive had mine for just over 12 months and still shat meself going fast through bends etc.
Love the JDM spec heater controls, much better than the crap UK ones. Got to get meself a rear JDM bumper tho, and one of them front splitters.
Oh yeah, throw some Tesco 99RON in it, just to make sure!

Empty your inbox mate its full, ill have it anyways if its not damaged, let me know where and when
