well we get snow throughout this week in manhattan, kS starting today. I took my gf to work this morning since the snow had started sticking and we couldnt use her car (camaro rwd). On my way back, I was approaching a light that was green and it suddenly turned yellow nd i wasnt anywhere near it but was doing about 20. No time to stop and i stupidly locked the brakes, which turned out to be a good thing cos the car slide sideways and i curbed it just as I got to the intersection where cars had started flying by again. What usually gets damaged when a car gets curbed? I assume my alignment will.

 

alignment might be goofed up some, but the most common problem is usually wheel damage.

things to check:
tie rod ends
wheel bearings
ball joints
spindle
alignment
wheels
tires

 

hopefully it isnt too bad. Cant check anything till probably tomorrow anyways cos of the snow.

 

Bah! Get out there and fix that car!
there's about 8" of snow on the ground here, and I had to go out there and put my entire exhaust back on. took it apart yesterday when it was 50 degrees out there and wend to dinner with Kelly. get up this morning and it's a freakin blizzard out there!

 

hahaha! Just like you matt!! I just had a look at it and took it around the block. Steering's a little off but there isnt any play in the front wheels. So I guess I'm okay so far. I hate snow arrgh!
oh btw..are your wilwoods 4 piston or 6?

 

only 4 pistons.. they're some of the smaller 4 pistons at that. As you can see from the pics, they're the biggest that would fit under my wheels, so I'm glad I didn't go to the next size up!

pad life is shorter, but there's always trade-offs in everything.
