Wassup guys.

Today while driving down a lane in my 2000 reg sei sx I got runn off the road into a ditch.

After much cursing and trying to get unstuck, somebody towed me out. (Y)

Upon checking for damages I thought the back wheel on the passanger side (side that was in the ditch) looked like it had a lot more toe in than normal. It could just of been my eyes n over thinking but just wondering of anyone had any ideas if a) it was possible and b) how/why?

Cheers!

It's possible that the trailing arm has bent (or even the whole cross beam). You've just got to get under and have a look. Plenty in scrappies (all Sei and Cinq are the same).

Glad you're OK.

Cheers for the quick reply fingers, will be getting it up on a decent jack tonight hopefully as the one in the boot is horrendous! Aha.

If it is a trailing arm, how hard are they to replace?

Cheers,yeah was a bit shaken but no damage to people aha.

Not a big deal. The trickiest bits are the brake hose (lots of GT-85) and the bolts (bottom shock bolt, the two big bolts holding the trailing arm on.

Breaker bar (or two!) recommended. Start with the GT-85 ASAP, repeat daily until you get round to it.

Doesn't sound too tricky!

Thanks for the advice man, I'll let you know how it goes!

Cheers.

If you feel like the brake hose/pipe isn't going to come undone or you don't want to have to bleed the brakes then you can leave the backplate and shoes hanging withe arm off and hacksaw a little cut through the brake hose bracket to release it

Just to let everyone know, after an hour or so on n off jacks it looks like everything is alright!

My toe in concern was just me over thinking n the way the car was sat.

The sei lives on!
