Let me guess -- the rear end got squirrelly and she lifted :-(
My wife did the same thing on my old S -- fortunately she missed everything
and stopped 2' from a retaining fence at the bottom of the ravine. How she missed
the curb, 3 poles, and god nows what else -- IDK.
I was even able to mud race it out of there.
Took a good power washing -- but no worse for wear.

So I'm having the car done at my usual trusted Indie (McIlvain Motors) here in Tempe, AZ. Will need the following:
On both rears:
*Lower control arms
*Trailing arms
*Toe control arms
*New wheels
On right rear:
*New axle
On all 4:
*New tires
I am wondering if the wheel bearings or sub-frame could be affected by those impacts to the rear wheels... The transaxle appears to be OK. I will have Wheel Specialists in Tempe look at all 4 wheels and tell me which ones are bent, but I already know both rears are. Then I have to figure out what I want to do for wheels. Do I just replace the 2 rear with the 18in Turbo Twists that I have? These are for street only as I have a set of dedicated track wheels.
I've always liked the Cayman 987.1 wheels... (courtesy of a fellow forum member)
Or the Carrera lights...
Are these true OEM?
