Default Front Colision

well long story short i had a DUI (yes im an idiot) and i nailed a curd on the driver side. it was enough to chip and roadrash the rims where i need new ones but not enough to let any air leaak.

no i looked under it and the tie rods look like pretzles and the swing arm but the wxle assembly is bent like a ****.

now i need to get this fix and was wondering what ur guys opinion was to what i should do to the front end.

i fear i damaged rack and pinion sterring cuz then it becomes more...


any guidences to what i shuold do? im not THAT mechanically inclined so id pay to have it done (preferebly purchase my own parts and pay for labor if its cheaper)



hit the curb about 25-30 so im not sure how bad it oculd potentially be...

that car wont drive adnd jerks right... well need flatbed....

I estimate about 2k in damage. I really doubt the axle is damamged. my tC hit a curb around 35mph dead on and that was the total bill. I cant recall all the parts replaced, but yea, it was a little over 2k.

I must have gotten off lucky. I hit a curb pretty hard on my driver side with both front and back rims. Front rim got so messed up it bent the rim and tore the tire. Back rim was bent but was holding well but the sidewall had a part torn off.
Everything was good, except my alignment was extremely off. The dealership was really surprised.
I hope it's not too hard to fix, but you get what you deserve I guess.

True guess it wasn't so smart to drink and drive. Not trying to be mean just saying the truth

That's going to be a fun bill to pay.

I just hit a curb going 7mph and I bent my control arm.
That thing isn't cheap either.

No matter what anyone says on here, your gonna need to take it to a shop. Pick one that you like and go from there. No amount of picture on the internet are going to show every possible little tweak in the suspension.
