Easy fix? The mount is broken off so I'd have to crawl under it in the street and weld it back on. Guess you all have heated garages, welding equipment and experience to boot :). Car is reposted and I have more pics.

My tercel was 3 times the target of thieves. First time they were successful and 2nd two weren't (3 dollar kill switch paid off bigtime). Each time I was able to use a universal ignition to rewire and restart the car. Costs about 10 bucks and should (if I remember right) unlock the steering wheel ...

86 Dark Blue SR5. Hmm, interesting last two posts, easy job and difficult job. Easy fixes seem to be pretty rare in my experience :). Even If I could fix the panhard rod, the axle still needs to be moved back to it's normal position first somehow. Looking at the axle from the rear and I see the one ...

Yup. I wasted tons of money on incorrect diagnosis and parts. Carb, fuel pump, cap, plugs(plat +4!)/plug wires, fuel/air filters are brand new. Plus it got a new clutch and brake pads/shoes/rotors in the summer. Don't want to throw any more money into the pit :). I'll paste the craigslist link in ...

Thanks for the replies. Not worth fixing, so she's going on craigslist for parts in a few days(in vancouver in case there r any other Canucks on here). Now I'm curious about what exactly a panhard rod is, cuz I've never heard of that before. Research time.

Rear axle is hooped - worth fixing?

Was 4 wheelin' in the snow last night and I took a corner too fast. The right rear tire smacked the curb and moved the whole rear axle about 6 inches towards the left of the car. Now the left rear tire sticks out past the body and the right rear rubs on, umm, that L-shaped thing. I'm debating ...
