I drive an old rusty 1986 Toyota Tercel Wagon SR5 and the other day I was driving to work and i noticed a slight shaking through out the whole car. The next day on my way home from work i had the supposed death wobble. I pulled over to see what was wrong and in the rear of the car i saw a bar hanging down. I am assuming it is the track bar. Anyways the bar was intact but on the right side it was bolted to a bracket that had rusted off from the body. Now this car is pretty badly rusted and it is only supposed to last me for a couple more months untill i go to school. My question is if there is anything i can do to fix it temporarily and if not is it possible to give me a quote on how much it would cost to get it fixed. Here is a photo of the car: http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x397/Keiseki1/2011-11-22_12-20-38_587.jpg If you need additional information please ask.

Being a "unit body" vehicle at it's age could and probably involved and expensive. Might be the end of that car. Pics: folks have had luck with sites like Photo bucket.com and link to the pic from there, T Keiseki New User Nov 24, 2011, 11:41 PM Post #3 of 5 (2321 views) Re: 1986 Toyota Tercel wagon death wobble question Sign In Thanks for the suggestion of photobucket.

Box beamed frames fall to ground. Just carpet holding your feet in and the list goes on. Best fixes if you can is to measure exactly where a totally broken part is to be if actually fallen off. Photobucket is one of many out there. I have troubles with certain pics. Either way I/we get the idea for your problem. Since you said you only want a couple months I'd factor scrap value and do nothing, fix and perhaps what you could get for the car later with the cost of a fix (anything fixable but for how much) and go from there.............

It's a totally unsafe vehicle and just needs to be put out of it's misery before someone gets seriously injured. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
