TRACTION ARM PROBLEM

[OneJArpus]

I have a huge problem! Yesterday something broke and it made the car act weird. I looked under the car and i see the D/S traction arm laying on the floor still connected but broken! i dont have a good picture of it. Where does the arm connect too?????? I need to get this fixed ASAP


Any idea how expensive the part where the bar connects to is?

I have the whole set of 6 arms removed from a 1990 turbo, low miles.

I could send you all or some of them

From what i've seen its not the arm thats broken, its the part/brack where the arm connects too on the rear rotor assembley, not on the exact assembley but near it i can't take a pic of it yet shit this is bothering me

im guessing the strut rod is the traction arm, where does it connect too? And how expensive is it to replace??

 

[drjonez]

how can you have looked @ the TSRM and not know where it connects to?

front end connects to the subframe, rear end connects to the knuckle.

my excuse is it was 3AM and i was tired. I figured it out once i got up.... sucks donkey dick it broke. Can i drive the car w/o the traction arm on?

No. I wouldn't.

you can drive like that for maybe a couple miles, but you will broke something else in that time. Fix it ASAP

I only want to drive it to my mechanic 2 miles maybe 3 if that... Just wanted to make sure it would be "OK"

if not i'll just tow it

if you will drive her gently, then she should be just fine, just avoid any harder stoping or acceleration

i would get it trailered to the shop if possible. it may put extremely increased stresses on the other components

will twist all the other rods in that area, don't drive it...
