here's a pic of the wheel that made contact.......




don't know what other damage has bees sustained.... after a high/mid speed collision with both the driver and passenger side i'm sure that a new rack&pinion will be in order as well as ball joints/control arms/wheels/tires...... sucks to be me, as have no money for the credit card bills that i had before this mishap

Wow, you did some damage man.  You should take a high-speed driving school and learn how to do that stuff properly.  It'll be cheaper than replacing your rims, hub assembly and suspension components every 3 months.

sorry for my stupidity, but what'd you hit? a curb or something? I've taken corners too fast on the highway but only the back end throws out, did it oversteer?

tried to take a corner while going fast (left), turned the wheel too soon/too much. hit the inside curb. also bent the crap out of the control arm. got a used one at the junk yard for 7 bucks and a wheel off of a 1g eclipse for 20.

was very surprised to find a 1g with 16in alloys, all of the rest of the ones there had 14's. if the donor had 4 matching wheels i would have got them all, i like them a bit better than my stock ones.

like i said listen to the car. It will tell you when you have reached and overshot its limitations. These things corner pretty good so you must have been bookin it.

most all FWD cars do they have bad weight balance all the weight on the front tires makes them slide. Its easy enough to pull to hard on these cars thats for sure but you get a lot of warnings from it first.
