Curb bash - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

dreroc-z · 10-25-2018, 09:26 PM

Heya guys just yesterday I had my first little oops in my BRZ. Long story short both my driver and passenger side wheels hit the curb, front harder than the rear. Front damage is pretty obvious with a bent lower control arm. With this I am going to be replacing my tie rods. Easy enough. Anyway...my rear has me a little stumped...it seems like my rear wheel is now toe'd out but my toe arm seems to be perfectly fine. I am lowered on swift springs and whiteline lcas. Just looking for a little insight here...was my alignment knocked out of place or is this something else? Anything else I should be looking at?

Thanks ahead of time

Yeah. Doesn't take much to knock out the wheels out of alignment. Just take it in to see what's been moved.

The rear toe adjustment is an eccentric bolt, so it can slip and look just fine on the toe arm. Depending on the version of the whiteline LCA's, they're also an eccentric bolt and could easily have slipped.

Or worse case scenario, you've tweaked the frame.

Care to share how you ended up driving over a curb?
