R32 Gtst Problem

[R32 White]

My front left coilover has been on its way out for a while and last night i hit a pot hole and the thing must have just given up. Everytime you hit a bump on that side it is like having no suspension just bangs. When i had a look the wheel is leaning in towards the car. Could this just be because the coilover is stuffed or would it be something else? The pot hole i hit wasn't that big so i'm hoping its nothing major.

Sounds like you've broken something more important than the coilover.

Does the top or bottom of the wheel sit in?

The top sits in so i was thinking it could even be a ball joint

From what you've said... might not be the coilover - might be the front wheel shaft (not sure what it's called, but the arch that keeps the wheels in line) - because if it were the coilovers, then the wheels wouldn't be leaning towards the front guards more, you'll just get very non-stiff resistance on the side where you claim it was broken... best thing to do mate, is to jack your car up, get under there and have a good look with a torch or something... I would get this fixed first before as in the long-term could prove to be dangerous.

[7k R32 PLEASE!]

think i got 2 second hand front ball joints for like $75 installed so if were that, consider yourself very lucky

thanks for the help. It ended up being the front camber arm was snapped into. Looked like it had happened before and just been a dodgy fix it job that didn't last.
