Shop Toyota Track Bars

Hello everyone.

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:


If you need additional information please ask.

Thanks

That car has escaped the junkyard for too long already. It's a totally unsafe vehicle and just needs to be put out of it's misery before someone gets seriously injured.

The right welding shops can re-do the area all depending on what it still strong. 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,

Thanks for the suggestion of photobucket. A picture is now available

Been there with rust big time. 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.............
