shaz2010 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 (edited) Hi all my brother crashed my car on friday he pull away from a mini roundabout and lost the back end and on the other side of the road hit a very big about a 2 foot stone kerb Body work took no impact but the alloys are shot, both front and back drivers side. rear took most the damage the wheel is bent in over . im going to have a proper look as its in my depo and was to busy today it drove from where he crashed it ok just felt like the back end was on ice skate's. i had a qiuck look under it as i left work and seen that what looks like the rear Stabilizer but a bit longer also i think what is a tie rod they are both bent like a boomarag once i get the wheel off tomorrow gonna start to strip the bent parts off and get new one's .... if any one can point me or have some pics of the rear layout of the supra suspension so i can figure out whats what. cheers also im now on the hunt for some new deep dish alloys .

ManwithSupra Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Sorry to hear that mate hope it does not cost too much to fix, make sure he pays it all. Thats the reason why i never let anyone (apart from my wife) drive my car, My brother wanted to drive my car i said no, he ended up buying one and destroying it the weekend he got it.

nevins Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Repaired a supra like this the other week. We had to replace the rear subframe and arms. If you can get the car in the air have a good check over the rear assembly. Its a straight forward job to replace as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abz Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Hope his younger & smaller than you! Get some pictures up, some member might be able to point you in the right direction to what needs doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbleapple Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Hope his younger & smaller than you! Get some pictures up, some member might be able to point you in the right direction to what needs doing. Don't know why we need pictures of his brother. You wanting Hovis of something?? Also, I reckon he won't need advice on what needs doing. Just keep punching, kicking and if necessary, biting, until said brother cries and begs forgiveness.

Gonna order the two parts and get them then see how the wheel will sit! Hopefully thats all it takes but am not banking on it >> http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TOYOTA-SUPRA-MK4-rear-diff-subframe-drive-train-conver-/250515668255?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3a53e5bd1f Might need one of these if the wheel doesnt sit right. im gonna do disk and pads, anti roll bar + bushes ,new suspension all round drop links while its off the road for now aswell. cheers for the concerns and if a need any help ill post pics up . cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Can you get the car up in the air so you can inspect it properly from underneath? I wouldn't start fitting parts until I'd had it thoroughly checked out for damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellis Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 said there was oil in the road that made the back end kick out and lose control B0ll0cks!!!! Its amazing how much 'oil' and 'diesel' there is on roundabouts these days!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 B0ll0cks!!!! Its amazing how much 'oil' and 'diesel' there is on roundabouts these days!! I was driving up the A1 a few days back and was shocked how much spillage was on the roads - pretty much all of it was on roundabouts too. Granted it's a well-heeled excuse for twatting a car, but there's probably a sliver of truth in there somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gutted but what can i do if it had of been a friend i would of done summit about it but hes not lol (wishs it wasnt) ) got the bits off but am stuck on what to order. help please. never took any parts of it since ive bought it, whats parts are the ones that bolt onto the bottom of the hub one is about a foot long and goes on a angle towards the end of the diff support unit, and the other is one about half a foot long and is stright looking at it from the wheel. its on the rear drivers side and it runs next to the drive shaft . they both bolt onto the bottom of the hub.
