A week ago I took my car in to get aligned under warrenty at Wheel Works.. The car was noticably unstable from what I felt/saw to be excessive and un-equal rear toe-in. After seeing the alignment before/after specs, the rear toe was indeed off significantly.

A few days later, I wanted to remove the subframe bushings you can see in the pictures.. Got the car jacked up, took a peep underneath.. and hooooly shit! They bent both of the toe control arms!!

How?

Did you get the car towed anywhere in the last week?

No amount of adjustment could have caused that...were they using a BFH???

Maybe some 240-owning guy at that shop swapped your stuff for his bent up stuff aftr a wreck...???

Weird...

i was at my uncles garage. hes the nissan guru. i had got some tension rods and he said its a good thing they are adjustable because they would do anything to get the wheels aligned. for example. bash on shit. bash on the frame, pull the frame. because if they arent adjustable theres no way to adjust them. so thats my guess. good luck man. that totally sucks
