Default Water + Turn

So I've known about this for a LONG LONG TIME. But I had just recently went FI and wasn't sure how much throttle was too much throttle. Anyways, short story is I spun out and the back passenger side hit the curb hard. I was convinced that I broke an axle. But after getting home and jacking it up I saw that this had happened.



Name these parts! And how much would it cost to replace them?

Hmm.. Are we sure that the Blue is the stabilizer bar? I think it looks more like a freakishly bent Control Arm (Toe Arm) to me, especially if it is at the fwd end of the rear hub.


Btw.. Don't hang your brake calipers by the brake line.

It's not hanging it's actually elevated and resting on a stack of reams of paper. No stress on the line. And yes that's the toe arm, bent to hell. And the red is the lower control arm. Also bent to hell. Just glad that that's all the damage that happened.

Also when it was being put on the trailer bed and taken off, the wheel rotated freely and didn't even make a sound or wobble.

Looks like I'll need A LOT wider wheels and A LOT stickier tires.

So I had the car on stands and had taken off the bent toe arm. I decided to start the car to make sure there were no leaks anywhere and I noticed that the drive shaft was rotating. I went back and the passenger rear hub and axle was rotating. Is this normal? It was completing a rotation like maybe every 2 seconds or so. Spinning slow like.

Yeah, sounds normal. I haven't done it in the S2000 but in my Integra if I turned the car on with the front wheels off the ground, it would spin even in neutral.
