I wonder what is car leg means in english, anyone can help me?

Is it suspension? They said if car accident at front, the "Car Leg" will be "kemek" and cannot be repaired until as good as before and it will affect the stability of the car either high speeding or cornering.

Is it true?

from da damage i c is not very bad~
jus mayb ur new abs tat u claim tat day might bend a bit~

car leg = lower arm

accident, ur lower arm sure bengkok lar... thats why have to change new lower arm lor....

lower arm can be changed? The workshop that repair my car said lower arm bengkok ad, repair ad also got difference, he said cannot replace a new 1.

i think tat fella taking crab lo~
who said lower arm cannt change? ?

Can be change, my friend just changed his on his spectra. Seek for other workshops.

Lower arm can be change.. last time lower arm loose, when drive fast the steering like turn like snake.. but now tighten jor.. smooth ride

TS, what car r u driving?

sgti~

hermm.. sgti, the connector to wheel only absorber, tie rod end (from steering), lower arm etc forgot la..
but if lower arm just replace with new one or get from chop shop cheaper, maybe sgti harder to get coz it's not the same with normal wira/satria/putra..
not so sure either it same or not with wira/satria/putra..

sgti lower arm compatible with evo ones??..

evo one also not sure izzit the same with sgti, but what i know evo's the shape of the arm really look tough compare normal wira one...
n how about mivec i dont know..

wow, got car leg wan ar?, car hand is what?

direct translation from chinese lar bro.... mechanics all not varsity graduates... u talk to them technical term they sure kantoi.... must learn layman's term when u go workshop...

car leg actually means automobile's undercarriage, to be precise.

undercarriage consist of shock absorber, steering tie rod, steering tie rod end, knuckle arm, lower arm, drive shaft, trailing arm, etc...

satria GTI's undercarriage design is exactly like proton wira where the front suspensions are supported by one Suspension Crossmember Front. If replacement to the lower arm does not help, probably the suspension crossmember front is bent too.

if front crossmember is bent

good chance the chassis beam is bent

better check your chasis if there's any deformation
for me the best place for checking is to bring your to the panel beater

brader... sgti uses macpherson struts in front ler... it is an independent suspension.... dun have crossmember geh....

then tell me the lower arm is mounted to what?

the workshops I go to, they have to explain to me properly.. or else show me what they intend to do/repair.. if not able to convey that clearly even in Cantonese etc, or else probably avoid that place..
