Okay, three days before I left for Japan, I'm driving my daily driver (1990 Volkswagon Fox) down the road and it suddenly sounds/feels like a cinder block is stuck under the car. Get out and take a look, notice that the front left wheel is smoking a little bit and the top of the tire is tilted into the wheel well, while the bottom of the tire is tilted out. So, I have one of my buddy's tow the car back to my house and don't worry about it until I get back to the states. I'll be back in the states next month and would like to order the parts I need and have them waiting for me to fix my car when I get back. Problem being, I have no clue about front suspension! :rolleyes: Can someone help me out by telling me what the part/parts are called that's broken? The brake disk ground into the caliper, so I'll need a new caliper I'm sure, but that's all I know. Yes, feel free to make fun of me all you want.
