k so me and my friend parked at this parking lot and went to go to the beach
when i was going to drive back home i looked back and there was nothing behind me so i completely floored it in reverse and flew up in the air and heard a gnarly ass bump so me and my friend got out and looked and we basically flew over a curve which is about the size of about 2 rulers...... im surprised there was nothing broken and i drove back perfectly but then again im wondering how much i ****ed up my suspension cuz when im driving now....it feels like my cars about to ****in get in an accident |

leave it in neutral and use your foot if you need to back up. ...just sayin... --------------------  |

You could try jacking up your car, take your wheels off, and snap some pics of your suspension?

I got a Chilton's manual. There's another brand but I can't remember. You should have a jack in your trunk: look towards the right when your hatch is open, there's a little panel you can unscrew a latch and open it up. In there should be the actual lift for your car, and over the spare/under your carpet should be the bars to assist you in jacking your car up! You've definitely come to the right place if you're looking for info! Feel free to ask anything! Otherwise, you'll never learn! -------------------- 2007 Subaru Impreza WRX STi 1974 Datsun 260Z 1997 Subaru Legacy L Wagon Kind of missin' my Celica GT! Hit me up if you're ever in my area. I'm always down for a meet. |
