So I was leaving to work and I was parked too close to the wall so my rear wheel hit the corner of the house. I felt the car sway left and right and so I got out to see and my wheel looked bent out so I took the wheel off and didn’t really see any damage to anything so I really don’t know what part is broken I did take off the rear trailing arm and I saw the bushing was worn and it just came off with the metal part in the middle that is bolted to the car. I’m assuming that this is the problem but I could be wrong. Any suggestions?
Some pics:
looks crusty…I’d replace.
Hard to tell, cause your pictures suck:giggle:
If the bushing is torn, i would deffinatly replace it(with a prothane bushing)
Well like I said the bushing came straight out along with the metal in the middle that bolts to the car. I’ll try to take more pictures but i guess my real question is, is that bushing holding that whole rear triling arm from moving?
Yes that would most likely be what is causing your swerving problem;)
Update I guess you were right it was the bushing. I went to the junkyard and purchased the whole trailing arm for $50 bucks I ended up replacing the whole arm. Some pics:
