Hey guys, Ive been under the car alot but cant seem to figure out why my two front wheels are doing this:
Everything looks good visually.. The car is a stock 86T
Thanks for looking

Both tension rods are either broke, or the rubber bushings wore out.

Tension rods both looked good, must be the bushings. Could there be any damage from those going out or will replacing them do the trick?

could be control arms or crossmember as well

my car is the same way,but only on one side, i assumed the fender was messed up from the previous owner.
i would also like to know how to fix this.

i have this aswell after my coilovers went in, im going to replace tension rods first and go from there.

If you put the wrong strut on the wrong side you can set the wheels back..idk if they do go on backwards, but im pretty sure ive seen someone do it before.
And by backwards I mean the wrong side of the car.
Deseptur: (2010-05-14 04:07:24)
Man you guys are good! went out and checked and they are towards the rear of the car. I have time to fix that tomorrow, so just the struts are side specific or the control arms too?
Thanks guys!
michaelp: (2010-05-14 04:09:40)
Control arms are too, im quite sure that if your tension arms are on your control arms are on right though. LOL
Deseptur: (2010-05-14 04:21:06)
Haha you'll have to excuse my lack of knowledge in the suspension area lmao. Only time I've worked with struts is I helped a buddy swap his front right strut as it had broken in half.
Time to do some hands on learning tomorrow.

no im actualy using the z31 control arms. I'll take a pic of it tomorow.

seems by going through the other posts here, the previous owner may have replaced the side you're having problems with by getting a part off the wrong side of the donor car.
