hey guys i drive a 2001 5speed Z24 last night coming home a dog was in the road just over the hill and i swerved my right tire kinda went off the road and is now making this popping noise my steering is all screwy like when i slam on the brakes it kinda floats all over the place or even when i hit little bumps in the road im scared to drive cuz i never know when i might go wandering off in the other lane whats wrong i need this fixed ASAP please help me

When you went off the road did your tire fall off a ledge in the road? When you say your steering is screwy what does that mean.. When you say you brake it "floats"

I might be able to help you but I have no idea what the hell you're talking about.

yea it sank like 6inches off the ledge and hit hard it makes this popping noise when i hit bumps or stop real hard, and then when im driving it pulls all over the place like even when i hold my steering wheel still, and right after hitting the brakes and then releasing it pulls really bad to the left usually almost like something came loose when i swerved or maybe even broke but i dunno what

thanks man

Bent tie rod? Pull the right tire off and look at the parts, for bent/broken things and let us know. Take pics if you are unsure of what you find.

i had a old 88 z24, started doing the same thing, pulls to the r on brake, and pull to the left on acceleration

turns out the front part of the A frame on the r wheel was broke

ya look at control arm/tie rod end , and the wheel itself
