Major suspension Problem please help!

[Jasonx63]

i crashed drifting was going like 25mph and slid into a curb. It Bent my Rim in so i had Positive camber and cracked the rim(Rear Passenger side). We towed the car to my friends house and i drove like a quarter mile down the rode to my house the next day(went as slow as possible) i got home jacked it up and all that seemed to be broken was the lower control arm ( only thing bent) so i installed some godspeed adjustable lower control arms. i drove it today and it swayed REALLY bad like it was fish tailing we looked again and cant find anything else that is best my wheel still has positive camber. if anyone can help me out i am open to suggestions. I was thinking maybe alignment but not sure if that's it. thanks.

thats what i was thinking but when i took i drove it home it didnt sway what so ever. and i drove around my neighboorhood slower that i did home and it swayed

It seriously feels like a forklift, like the rear wheels are steering.

Is there any possible way to install RLCA's wrong??

Unless you replace all the hardware and bearings in those godspeeds, you may end up in a world of hurt when something breaks (not if).

I'm guessing your alignment is jacked. Make sure there's no play in the tapered bolt that goes into the spindle.

Check this^

Also check your subframe for bends/cracks/blown bushings..... get an alignment.

Stop drifting on the street like an idiot.

it has nothing to due with the frame. people like to suggest the worst possible cause the first instead of throughly thinking. ok so mine did the same thing after i installed adjustable rucas (didnt hit a curb tho lol) and i found that by just adjusting the arms and not having adjustable toe rods will throw your alignment way way way out. and i mean out by in "toe". too much or too little degree in toe will make it swerve all over the place and shimmy from one side to another making it nearly impossibly and highly dangerous to drive. just adjust the rucas with the car in the air and take a tape measure and measure both the rear tires and get the tires to the same distance from the front of the tire to the back side of the tire. super simple or just take it to an alignment shop. btw i have godspeed too ;-0

I did the same thing a long time ago i went to the junk yard and picked up a bare sub frame for 65 and solved everthing

You will still need an alignment.

Things don't need to "look" bent for them to be bent.

[rcdad123]

check your shocks also. if it sways like crazy, chances are one of them is blown. alignment is also very necessary, every time a suspension or steering component is replaced, you need to have your car aligned. also a good alignment technician with a good alignment machine can tell you if there is anything wrong with your suspension and steering components. takes the guess work out of the equation.

I second this! You are going to end up hurting or (god forbid) kill some innocent person(s).

I really hope this will be the last time u decide to drift on the street.

Anyways get an alignment but pull your subframe first. It's to hard to tell when its on the car.

[Edwin562]

I street drift but not around people what so ever
