Hit a curb

[yekoms_657]

My girl fishtailed n hit a curb any thoughts on what could be bent or broken . Stock pp1 wheel is broken and sticks out. Rotor looked straight, I took of the wheel hub it didn’t look bent either. Only thing I noticed was the upper control arm bolt looked bent . Thanks in advanced.

Dump that girl pronto as she is going to be a bigger liability down the road.

I would check the 4 IRS cradle mounting points first as all of that could have shifted.

Thanks I’ll look into it. The passenger side looks fine. Could it be that just the driver side shifted or got bent.

i would take the knuckle off and check for cracks. i would be paranoid and replace most of the stuff that bolts up like the sway bar link, vertical link, that lower arm that is bent i believe its the lower camber arm idk i am not sure of the mustangs rear suspension components tbh and i dont wana pretend i do. new bolts and check check check for cracks. if shit is bent thats great since the energy of the hit went into deformarion and compliant bushings vs shattering along a grain imperfection in the casting or something. i would take the oppertunity to upgrade the bent arm, sway bar links and vertical links. my vertical links made my car very planted and didnt really contribute to nhv. maby that may help what ever caused you to loose control. i would look for torn bushing on the cradle side of things a hard hit can rip an oem bushing thay has miles on it. good luck

That actually makes so much more sense LOL....

Take it to a reputable shop, get it on a rack, see how off it is. I am betting the cradle at least shifted, and a bunch of stuff is bent. I don't see the hub off in any of those photos, but I am betting the hub is cooked. Worst case, your mounting points for your rear cradle could be bent, which means it could be totaled. I don't think that would happen, but I wasn't there, didn't see the hit.

Maybe you got lucky, and the wheel took the brunt. But those back hubs are incredibly delicate. I'd be checking CV joints, I mean basically the entire IRS, including the diff. Does the opposite side wheel poke out more?

When I read this title I immediately thought NICE... and….
…oh, he was probably not on a track at the time of the incident, that sucks.

blaming it on your girl is a new low. I'm sure the video of you losing it is on TikTok by now.
