today was a horrible day

when it comes to suspension on my 94 Z i know nothing...i know my car is way off aligned and making full turns it feels like a wheel is gonna pop off..today i lost control of my car going around and turn and swirved real hard back n forth untill my car did a complete 180 and stopped...i know i had to of broke something for sure... heard a rattling and it felt like i had a flat tire but i didnt? drove her home and check stuff but i know nothing about suspension....what do u think is likely to have broken? what are the weak points of our suspensions...i know i did something? help...oh also after this i noticed a spark jumping from one plug to the metal boot sheild as well when the engine is running...today was a horrible day...

iM GONNA GO AHEAD AND SAY it might be your Ball joint's A quick way to check them is to look right under the ball joint. If the grease fitting is still sticking out theyre ok. if its looks like itssunken in its little groove replae it. Of course you can also raise the car and with the wheel on start trying to move your wheel around to see if theres any play or movement...try one hand @ 9 oclock and the other at 3....and 6 and 12........


I just did my whole suspension
ball joints,
tie rod ends
end links
shocks

I know what a ****ty suspension feels like..
