  1. Also here's a photo of my old strut assembly You can probably tell which one I broke. Turns out the strut that is not bent is completely blown and has leaked out completely so this whole accident has sort of pushed me to get an upgrade for the better.
  2. Hey guys its been a really long time but after a few weeks of doing stuff really slowly, I've been able to get my old struts, control arms and brakes out ready for better ones. I have been able to pickup a ST132 Corona front end including hub, strut, LCA and brakes for a good price. So far I've taken all 4 struts apart (2 KE70 and 2 Corona) so that i can swap the KE70 springs and top hats to the corona struts. After that the whole thing should all bolt up except for steering? What would I need to do to get that working? Also one more, what do I need to do to get the brakes working? Thanks a lot for the help so far guys, its been a good learning experience for me!
  3. Hey guys, I'm back now. Have exams over the past few weeks so havent had time to post or start working on my car. Just picked up a 41 Piece Socket set for Supercheap so will start taking the strut out. Will post pics soon. Thanks again for all the help and advice so far!!
  4. In the Northern Suburbs of Melbourne and wreckers are charging a lot
  5. Also, how are you guys able to get suspension components for so cheap? Where should i be looking in particular to get a good deal?
  6. Alright guys thanks for the input so far. I've gotten the jacked up, taken the wheel off but don't have tools to continue much further so ill have to wait for my mate to come over with some tools. In the meantime, I've been trying to look for some parts. Ive called up a couple of wreckers but none of them seem to have an XT130 Corona in stock but they do have a couple of KE70/AE71 so for the time being, ill have to stick with just a replacement of components instead of a slight upgrade. Thanks again guys and ill keep you posted.
  7. Hey Guys, First time poster so please don't kill me. Basically today I messed up driving my KE70 in the wet. My brakes locked up so I slid and hit my front left wheel on the curb at around 25 - 30km/h. The car didn't mount the curb but it did hit it pretty hard with the wheel turned slightly to the left. Right now, my front right wheel seems to have a lot of positive camber and is constantly pulling to the right. I've pulled the wheel off to have a look at what might be bent but all appears to be fine and none of the arms seem to be bent how ever the the hub does seem to be on an angle. Also I can't freely spin the wheel when the car is jacked up like i used to. Any idea on what could possibly be wrong guys? Thanks in advance!!
