the right rear shock was blown, the rear bumpstop is gone it hit sooo hard, the panhard bar was cracked, and the trackbar brace( the bar above the panhard, don't really know the name) was bent too. I replaced everything except the brace above the panhard that looks tweaked. Before i started work i noticed that the right rear wheel was sucked in and the left rear was pushed out( the rear axle was off center big time). I thought that maybe replacing the panhard would take care of most of that, but it barely made a difference. Could the brace above the panhard be bent that much, could it be something else? Is the car just a turd and should be returned to hell? I may just get her to buy a new brace and see what that does(she wanted to save $$$, thats why im working on it and not a real mechanic.
