Looks like nothing good, blown ball joint perhaps. Thinking of buying it?

Just read the other post over at XT6. Not sure where the lift is, but you'll definitely want to check it out before you drive it anywhere. In addition to the strut, control arm and ball joint that has already been covered. It could be a bad knuckle or hub or even the subframe. Then it could be something as simple as a missing bolt???

If it's as simple as replacing some easy suspension parts, new tires (rear looks dead), and paint it shouldn't be too bad. Congrats on saving one.

it supposedly has a blown transmission the guy i'm buying it from hasn't driven it any farther than on and off a flatbed and doesn't have any history, that tire has been replaced, so i think someone hit a curb or somthing, i really want to restore it, but it may get parted out if the frame is bent however i need to drive it like 1 mile to my friends shop thats where the lift is i think it should be ok for the short of a trip.
edit: it's not at a wrecker thats the guys storage lot

Just remember -
If man made it, then man can fix it.
I hope you bring it back to life. |

Jeff,
I'll still stick with my guess on XT6.net....almost has to be a bent strut and or control arm, but definitely nothing that can't be fixed...if the sub frame is tweeked a little, a good frme shop can straighten it, as it can't be very bad, no more damage than it shows.
