k so dont bash on me....but this is 100% my fault
ill tell u what happened after i get some info on what the problem is or how to fix it.
Bascially my car hit the ride side curb and when it hit i thought my whole right side was ****ed but it was only the rims.....
k after that my steering was totally different- when i turn left its normal but anything to do with turning right and i hear a badddddd rattle from my left side rim.....
my friend checked and said its either the axle or the coilover hitting my rim.....and i shouldnt drive it.....
im waiting tomorrow to see what my other friend says once we lift the car up
but till then im worried.........=[
anyone know any info hit me up please!

wow this is a real reason why i love the 6gc. i sure will miss u guys when i get rid of my celica
today the real mechanic came and looked at it... we raised it on jacks and took off the tire and put it in drive and reverse while it was up but no problem there until we put the tire back on and took off the jacks......
he said its def not the control arm but thinks is the transmission or differential axle....as their are 2 transmissions in the celica?
either ways its still dead in my house and we are planning to get rid of the celica...as too many problems keep comming up with the car....
if i part it, i will def give u guys the parts cheaper lol
i sure will miss the 6gc... it was my first car =[

don't give up so easily. if your car is a GT and it's a manual, then it's got the S54 transmission. at the very least, find out exactly what's wrong with it before you get rid of it. it could end up being something small. axles aren't expensive. less than $100 at a parts store.

if you do decide to part out though, I got dibs on the engine depending on the milage and condition. lol
