curb check at 120mph

I will ask, without grilling you though...why and how did your tire blow out at 120? Why was there a curb beside you? That seems to indicate, at least in my neck of the desert, that you were on a public, possibly narrow road. Was your tire old? Very worn? Cheap brand? You might want to check the rest of your tires before any more high speed driving...for yours and others safety please!

Ohhh, Methinks think you snapped your transverse link pivot bolt (the big bolt that would go through the two holes on the bottom of Tim's picture) somehow? If so, GJ! Rust? If not that, the only other possibility is that you've broken the strut off of the "hub". Can you take pictures?

cheap tires and adrenaline dont mix very well.

 

I know how that goes...please just be careful.

 

Are you referring to breaking the strut housing itself? This would be the part were the strut tube ties into the hub area (which houses the bearings)? Did your tire flop in/out? I saw a 300ZX in the junk yard that hit something and it broke the strut tube where it is welded/pressed into the spindle area.

I found a guy that is selling the front and rear comp. assy for $50. thanks for all the help & concerne. the road I was on was a goast yard and was good for pressing the limits of my car. I only like to endanger my self, not others........unless they drive a honda with a kazoo on the tail pipe!!!!!!!
