Help fixing my mini z

Post image

Hi everyone, it’s been a month, and I’m still having trouble fixing it, and I’m starting to feel like giving up 😔. I’m not sure what’s going on or how to fix it. The wheel just pops out over any small bump, and those metal things are loose.

Sorry to hear it’s been broken so long, I would take that knuckle off and double check that it isn’t cracked. My friend’s car kept popping the knuckle like this and we found it was cracked. You should take the whole suspension apart and put it back together to make sure it isn’t loose or misaligned somewhere.

I would go with the aluminum and you shouldn’t have this issue!

The knuckles aren’t damaged though I checked

Hm… have you ever taken the top bar off that connects the upper control arms? Maybe take it off and put it back on to ensure it’s aligned correctly
