hey mate, well i had a similar incident but i wasn't trying to drift or anything, just came round a corner and the road was slippery
anyway....
I had bad toe out on the rear, it was a bent trailing arm and subframe. The car actually drove fine but my tyres wore out really quickly.
As for why it is lower, when i had the incident i ended up on the gutter as well. The front wheel took a hard knock and since then the wheel gap was smaller.
It was a mushroomed strut tower, now if yours is at the back i assume its the same sort of thing, except you cant see the mushrooming like you can on the front strut tower only the lower ride.
anwyay hope it helps, i got it all sorted in the end. | | | | | 08-05-2006, 03:49 AM | #19 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2004 Location: Pennsylvania Posts: 218 |
Sucks about the car... at least it was a curb and not a parked car.

Alright, I'm back in town now, so I'll have a look under the car when I get a chance. Think I might be better off taking it to the dealer? __________________ http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i1...ata/bmwsig.jpg

If you take it to the dealer...its like 87$ to have it looked at...but theyll tell you wants messed up. Just be on the weary side, you never know what theyll try and say is messed up. I can tell you now though, the possible problems could be the axle, axle carrier, trailing arm, subframe, hopefully not the diff. When i saw my diff hangin there when my mom brought it home...i nearly pissed myself. Hope everything turns out well. __________________ 1995 Hellrot Clubsport 318ti -Gone 1996 Schwartz II Sport 357ti - 5.7L V8 LS1/6 1997 Moregrun Metallic 318ti - Gone

I might have cracked the diff.. I noticed a drop of fluid getting ready to drop off of the bottom of it when I took a quick glance underneath.. __________________ http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i1...ata/bmwsig.jpg

The backplate/mounting piece on my diff broke, but the diff was ok. __________________ 1995 Hellrot Clubsport 318ti -Gone 1996 Schwartz II Sport 357ti - 5.7L V8 LS1/6 1997 Moregrun Metallic 318ti - Gone

O ya I forgot...that sucks man; I did something like that in my thunderbird (it worked tho) I was inches from the curb! | | | | | |
