I didnt mean to JUMP my baby!

Tonight i accidently jumped my Z28 over rail road crossings, i dont think i even got a foot off the ground but it still sucked. My friend behind me said sparks came out. Think my Z is ok ?

When I accidently jumped my 86 z28 I had to buy new rear swaybar endlinks, the impact actually cut the endlink in half, luckily one endlink was still on, I hear having a swaybar dig into the ground while driving is a bad thing

Check pretty much the entire bottom of your car. Gotta lift, or lift access?

I wanna see, post the vid!

Crawl under there and find out where the sparks came from, look for damage.

I raced an SS one night, I lost, but thats OK. We flew up the road, up the hill, and there was a cross street, where the incline stopped, then started again. He extended his shocks all the way, then slammed down, and hit, with sparks.

I think it was only his muffler scraping, so that's probably all that happened.

easiest way to check for undercarrige damage(new) is to get the bottom of the car wet ( i know CHEAP!) wait a day or so and check the undercarriage for fresh rust. fix as needed!
