so bent my lateral link a while back, grabbed a good condition used one for $20 and installed it today at the shop. Thank god i was at the shop removing the old one was two man job it was so fucked up. The top mounting bolt spun freely inside the end so to loosen it i had my friend hang on the bar without touching the ground to apply pressure to the nut so i could remove it. but before that when we took out the trailiung arm side it was so bent we could barely pull the bolt thru the mounting hole.



so before you see the pic keep in mind THIS BAR SHOULD BE STRAIGHT.



i present the carnage, wrx's must die.

WRX a-hole interrupted his parking-lot run, forcing him to take evasive action, hitting a curb.





Do I have that right? My memory's been a little messed up since that whole "birth" thing.

Was this at an autocross? Define "parking-lot run".

a bankrupt company with a parking lot about the size of disney world's parking lot, with individual "island" sections.



it's closed off and cops have allowed us to drive here, so we actually stay organized for the most part, we go one at a time, most people practice drifting but some also just go grip style.



why this happened was someone who was uninvited got mad at me, because i told him we werent there tor ace others, just to push ourselves, he got pissed, i went to do my run, and he decided to try to race me anyway, he lost control, almost hit my car, i cut the wheel, slid across the lot into a curb producing that nice little bend.
