I was doing a U-turn and while I was already turning some woman pulled out across four lanes of traffic right into me and I swerved back to the left and over compensated and hit the curb. What do you all think of the damage? Terrible curb rash, but no body damage and I got a really bad slant to my wheel now. I think i bent the sway under the car.




6 days old

 

The front brace is huge, so chances are if you bent that you may to replace the wheel. Sux dude. Time to go aftermarket w/rims.

 

added pix

 

What is the part number of that thing I bent? and is the black bar in the second to last pic bent too?

 

I can see the rash on the wheel. Try and get a better pic up. But from here you may be fubar on fixing the wheel.
DOn't have my microfische here now, it's at work. Looks like the 2nd bar may be bent a skosh, but can't really tell.

 

what are those bars called?

 

the top one is a lateral Arm right?

 

i can help u out with this one


the first pic is the stablelizer bar onli 60 bucks and u can do it ur self

the others are controlling arms like 150 ~ 200 a piece

 

i highly doubt that u've damaged ur swaybar. the link will break off before bending the swaybar.

To me, that doesnt look serious at all. just try your local wreckers and see if you can find the rear lower arm, or maybe go aftermarket and replace both sides.

and wheels are very sturdy, try and see if you can balance the wheel, then decide fix/ditch from there

 

thanks, I will let you know how it goes.

 

+1 on what Kensen said. If I were you I would just replace with stock b/c there is no point of going with aftermarket replacements for these parts unless you plan on doing other suspension mods and want to have a serious suspension set up down the road.

 

but its a good chance to get stronger arms

or maybe at least put in poly bushes while your doing it
