AIR TIME MISHAP

[SCEXPLORER]

I just wanted to let you all know that i messed up my 2wd explorer. I went offroading for the first time on the way to Vegas and got 4 feet of air. Well after offroading i noticed that my font wheels developed really bad negative camber. I first thought it was the ball joints but after replacing them today and even getting camber adjustment kits, it still sits negative about -3 degrees on the right side and -1.6 on the left. I guess i bent something maybe my 3"inch spindle from explorerprocomp. dunno. so sad.

Man, that sucks. Let us know when you find out what exactly was damaged.

4 feet of air? DAMN! No wonder you bent something!

I didn't do it on purpose

I didn't even mean to get air. The whole time I would slow down and then press on the gas at every dip and lip so that i won't get stuck. Well i guess i gunned it too much cus on one of them i flew right off it.

Always have to be careful out there. Takes a little bit to get up the skill out there. Especially when you're going fast. This last weekend at t-haven i ran into some stuff to fast and caught some air. By the time you see it...you cant hit the brakes. I understand about that. See what kind of warranty there is on the spindles. And dont tell them how you did it! You could just say you went over some train tracks. Hope everything works out.

just dont hit the brakes in the air.

probabally end up rolling the X, and we all know that's a pain in the :mattmoon:
