Suspension failed?
I have a 1986 RX7 na. Ok so this is what happened when i was taking a sharp right turn at the usual turn I always do it at going home from work. I didn't even hit anything, I was just turning right and all of a sudden I felt my car slowly going left. I'm just glad this happened now than in a public road or freeway.
There are more pictures here http://s13.photobucket.com/albums/a287/Hombow/RX7/
I'm hoping that only the suspension is messed up. My control arm seems fine so thats a good thing. I'm not sure what specific part this is, is it the shock absorber? But either way I'll just have to replace my whole suspension now. What are good recommendations for cheap but good quality suspension? I was thinking of getting coilovers.

Yeah thats a busted strut mount.
Depending on your budget you will want to replace that one strut with a similar mileage unit or get some new ones.
Of course...if one strut is so bad that it failed like that you should probably replace the struts vs replacing just that one. And you will want to replace all 4 struts at once.
As for your options, it all depends on your budget. If it allows it would also be a great time to get new springs as well.
