Looks like new wheels are needed!

 

 

If you knuckle is damaged I have a spare one, with wheel bearing.

 

sweet...glad she is back on the road..

 

holy cow. phew your very lucky guy.

 

Ginevan that was funny dude. and yes I feel very blessed that is was just a rear control arm and a wheel and little fender damage. It could have been worse I think I am going to take a picture of my tire tracks inches from that yield sign God was looking out for me.

Thanks Jake me too man we need to hook up some time so I can show the finished car sometime.

 

You wheel can be fixed. Wheels of america or wheel technologies for round $125. If you hear a popping more than likely you hub, bearing or both is messed up. If either is bent the brakes will squeal and pulsate when the brakes are applied.

 

Im guessing from your pics since you dont have the fender on the dog leg of it is smashed and the door skin is rolled over. In that case the door shell is rolled over and so is the skin. Probably will need to replace both. Might be able to fix door shell and reskin but hard to tell from pics.

 

The door seems to be unharmed the fender took the most damage but it's really just cosmetic I am more worried about the popping which is minor and reminds of when my sway bars need to be tightened. R1 it could be the hub but the brakes act like normal even under hard braking. i am thinking of ordering the upgraded sway bar end links anyway, that might be the issue. I will know more tomorrow when I take her back to NTB. Thanks for the info and help R1.

 

No problem. Glad to help if i can. The popping, when does it sound? While turning, accelerating or both or stopping? The lower front control arm could also be bent. It doesnt take much. If seen that happen before. They are aluminum and they will bend and not look like it. Like you said could be worn or broken endlinks. Hopefully your inner and outer tie rods didnt get bent

 

It's only over bumps and not while turning the wheels it's not a loud pop but it's there, which makes me think sway bar end link. The tie rods looked good but like you say its hard know for sure. After I get it realigned I will know more, it's drivable now so I could bring it to you sometime and see what you think. Thanks again. Kirk

 

Glad some people still have a sense of humor and still take a joke. Lol

Definetely glad that it's little amounts of damage too. When I did the same thing (not as fast and with not as much power) I blew a core support, bumper, radiator, and fan shroud, with a few other little things. (slightly bent wheel, bent A/C condensor)

 

Wow that is a lot worse then I got it I was very lucky indeed. So where you hard on the brakes when you hit the curb and did you get everything fixed? I agree that the power of the car did get away from me. I think that sense I was off the gas and brake and just tried to steer the car, the nose didn't dive down and there for it was easier to jump over the curb if that makes sense. That is just a theory though check out these pictures you can see the black tire tracks and how lucky I truly was that sign would have fracked my car up bad and might have hurt myself or even worse my girlfriend.

 

glad you are man enough to admit your mistake, not like the whiny kid in the OT section

hope she is back and running soon

 

I'll vouch as well..
