i was barely doing 60 going around a SLIGHT turn... good tires.. like i said earlier, i've driven much faster in much worse conditions... pushed the car to the max over the last 5 years and i think this was just a rare occasion of hitting oil/hydroplaning..?

kalivornian

lol ya right. Thanks :P

kalivornian

whole time i was like 'wow why haven't my tires gripped yet'. I've never had my tires spin for so long in this car

blaaaaa oh well

would be fun to take some drifting lessons

Or just more time consuming?

Also, is there another name for 'upright' and 'toe-link'? Did a search and didn't see much....

Also wondering what the chances are of needing to replace the sub frame- car has a LOT of miles.. would hate to drop a lot of money into it only to have something else major go on it. I know that's always a risk but.. just thought I would ask.

Thanks again!

You are going to have to get a shop to put a new bearing into the rear knuckle, figure out which parts are bent, replace them, get alignment, and probably get told by the alignment place that you missed a component that you didn't think was bent. Check for cracks in the black paint of the components, its a give away that that part shifted/got tweaked.

I replaced rear lower CA, toe-link, wheelbearing, and wheels unfortunately.

I had a situation within months of Bondurant school that I wouldn't have steered out of without the training. I've taken that course and 3 other defensive driving courses. I'm considering Mid-Ohio School next year if the economy cooperates. Its never too late to learn new stuff

BTW , 20+ years accident free and I often drive it like I stole it.
