I had to replace the down pipe from the DC headers and thank God my friend had an extra one laying around his place. Now I understand why my headers were cracked in the part where the 4 pipes turned in to 2 pipes. I am looking for a one piece headers but not sure which brand to go with.

How many miles are on the car currently?

The suspension was checked at the dealer and they only told me about the CV boot thats torn. But i will do my own inspection to be sure.

you should be able to find out your tire size by looking.. i'm guessing the ones in this pic are wider than yours, but it should read something like P185/75R14 or something along those lines with different numbers

So driving home from work my lovely car felt super loose. the side to side sway was worst that ever before all of the sudden i felt this clanking noise coming from the rear.What tha Fuck!!! I pulled over and nothing seems out of place so I decided to keep going. Mistake #1, Here comes another clanking noise again What tha fuck!! I sopped again and just did a walk around the car and the I figured out that my rear tire its looking kind of weird. so I continue my trip home ( mistake #2) and the noise keep getting louder by the minute. So I make it home lift the rear of the car and then I realized that I should have called a tow truck my trailing arm bushings are fucking gone :x :x :x there is no connecting rubber to the middle part of the bushing just the center metal grinding against the trailing arm. Fuck My Life Im going to burn this SOB!!!!!
