okay guys earlier this evening i was drifting with my t78 rx7 and after i was done drifting the steering wheel was turned to the right yet i was going straight!?!?!?!? basically its turned about 45 degrees to the right and i still go straight....yet when i let go of the steering wheel the car turns hard to the left....is this an easy fix or is it my suspension ...i didnt hit anything or crash anything....i am just wondering how to make my alignment the way it used to be!





helP!!!

 

HELP!!!

 

I'm sorry buy you HAD to hit something. The only way that happens is if you knock the front end out of alignment.

 

Yep.....

 

alright i will jack her up and look under the car what should i be looking for???

 

Anything bent/broken. If it looks ok, send it over to an alignment shop

 

look for a bent tie rod, that really sounds like your problem.

 

alright but i mean it would take soo much force to bend a tie rod i just cant imagine that would happen...at like a 30mph drift

 

anyone else see the pattern ...



rx7 + drift = bent tie end rod

 

haha our cars were made to do anything and drifting is what i choose to do....unlike drag racing ....autocross i would like to do....but drifting is my weapon of choice for now....

i just dont think that mazda made them that weak....they are thick enough to withstand a 30mph drift unless the bushing on them are shot and then all the shock and tension would have gone straight into the tie rod and bent it....that would suck!
