bent rear end

[hell_raiser]

I'm looking at another cutlass supreme she is a 97 and it looks really good. the person who is selling it says she hit a pot hole and a bushing let go, now my question is, is there a bushing that could give the arse end so much play it rubs on something?

yes. you probably have a broken lateral link OR trailing arm.

 

Inspect for Rust or major structural damage. If you are up to replacing either the broken part, OR the entire rear axle.... have at it!

rear axle? ?

is a 97 with 180 km worth it? its a sedan and its a 3100 only 400 though

if the damage isn't more than a couple hundred bucks, then yeah

[rockfangd]

yeah chances are it is only a broken trailing arm

yeah chances are it is only a broken trailing arm

 

And strut damage probly.

actually its a lateral link bushing. i have a parts car so the only pita is that i have got to drop the tanks . i'm changing both links, trailing arm and strut. the thing runs mint looks mint needs an undercoating no holes and its console shift. 3100 cream interior. not bad eh lol bought from original owner!

I found it easier to drop the entire subframe off the rear rather than the tank. BTDT.

 

Of course... I did struts and leaf spring too in the same shot.

fixed and its happy now !
