How about not sliding on public roads at all?

Your lower control arm looks bent & I'm willing to be the knuckle is damaged as well.

Expect to replace the hub assembly as well as the bearing will prob **** the bed soon if it hasn't already.

what i think may need to be replaced...rim, lower & upper control arms, assist link, trailing arm, knuckle hub assembly, axle, shock...pretty much everything on that side may need to be replaced...if may be slightly bent but looking at it you can't tell thats the bad part...I went through something similar with my Evo and replaced almost everything myself doing all the work too...it was worth it to not make my insurance go up since i didn't have any tickets in 2 yrs i wasn't trying to put something like this on my insurance...good luck...

Mrjdmjimi had the best explaination... yes, it might not have been the acd but then a noob in his evo x who did the same thing clearing out without biting the curb.. it was more than than the ACD factor...

Anyways.. Its just the knuckle that needs to be replaced.

Thanks!
