Los Angeles AREA Owners...
HEy guys, hope all is well,
I'm good, but could be better...
Last week while driving around, i hit a corner quiet hard, to the point where I slid and hit the sidewalk...
My rear driver side RIM CRACKED, well actually a whole broke off, mysteriously the tire is still intact and with air.
I drove home but the car was shaking, wouldnt stay straight unless i manuevered a certain way.
My traction control light is also on (the one that turns on when it kicks it)
anyways, i took a look under the car to see if there was any damage to the suspension, the only thing i can see damaged is the CONTROL ARM, it bent... or at least what i believe is the control arm...
ANyways I been trying to search for one to purchase but I can't seem to find one, i was told it's dealer only product.
I also need a RIM i foudn one for as low as $160.
ANYWAYS, can any of you refer me to a GOOD MECHANIC in the LA area that is reasonable and wont GIP Me...
How much am I looking for repairs.. (NEW RIM, CONTROL ARM, LABOR)
or at least labor cuz i may just buy the parts my self if i can find it, and hoping that no other parts where messed up...
Can anyone tell me where i can find a diagram on the RX8's suspension?
thx a lot guys.. PEACE

how weird ... do they work on cars?
thax for the diagram its well detailed and its very iseful, however it doesnt seem to point out the name of the specific part i messed up...
I Believe its the rear control arm, i can't find it online though, on ebay i found REAR TOE CONTROL ARM but it seems smaller than the part im looking for...
