shit, i was hoping it was just rims, how can I check bushings and bearings with out physically taking them out and looking? I probably wanna have a mechanic or the
dealer look it when insurance makes their estimate.
it not just a straight brake path, i had to cut the wheel over and stomp the brakes, when the car pulled out in front of me, i would say there were 2 car lengths max
I know the VR4 brakes are quite good, but I have been noticing they are soft, dont grip really hard for quick stops. i was already looking to replace them before yesterday's incident.

is that judging from the SAT pic, or the pic of my car on the hill. looking back that sat picture is wrong. i drew my car stopped in the wrong place, you can kinda see the steps next to the green box, also where I originally drew my yellow mark is too far from the parking lot. Also, there was a car parked on the street about where the blue box is on the drawing. i was literally a foot away from his back bumper. He was parked about 4 feet away from the entrance to the parking lot, I actually talked to the owner of that car later when i was taking pics.
I can only see skid marks on the road till I'm almost across the center line.I remember that I was almost at her parking lot when she pulled out into the road, so the braking was more sideways than straight on.
will post pics of that later.

I assumed they were stopped and saw me, but hey, when I assume I make an ass out of you and me . . .
