slid into a curb in my 96 eclipse rs. the only thing that hit the curb was the back passenger side wheel,which is now facing inwards at the angle i hit the curb, along with the rim being bent. the rim i could care less about, but my knowledge as far as suspension goes is minimal. what did i break/bend?

you need the trailing arm and a subframe.. trailing arm you can order online they are not expensive but the subframe like the previous post said will need a craigslist ad or junkyard.. make sure you torque everything to spec and get an alignment when you are done
 
Think its worth changing over to disc brakes while I'm down there? I'm kinda worried I may have messed up the actual wheel hub too but won't know for sure til I replace the other obvious stuff.

Its too bad I chucked all my stuff when I upgraded my brakes. :ohdamn: My thought on it was its the fwd brakes......everyone wants the awd upgrade. You should be able to get all the stuff on here from members upgrading their brakes or a junk yard. Should be fairly cheap upgrade and you may have to replace something on your brakes anyways.
 
Ouch :( I think the guys above me covered everything, make sure to get an alignment. I also bet the wheel hub is bad now might as well change that while you are in their.

Sent From My Sidekick 4g, Because I can.
 
I agree, now is the time to use the excuse "It's broken now so it is time to upgrade"...LOL..

Check out junkyards and see if you can find anything just to avoid shipping costs, but if not then I'm sure you can find the parts here. GL!
 
found a replacement subframe on ebay for 50 shipped :D and a trailing arm for 20 shipped. looking into other parts now
