I had something similar happen to me one winter several years ago. I hit an icy patch at 30mph and the rear end swung out. I hit the curb and broke my axle in my GF's 2000 Maxima. Insurance paid almost 4k to fix it. There was NOT ONE SCRATCH ON THE CAR.

$4k ouch... I hope I don't get dinged as bad. I should have a proper quote from the auto repair shop I left it off at, and if there parts pricing is too high, then I'll try to buy parts of this guy who sells them for cheap (found him in the regional forum). Thanks for the comments guys.

It's not going to cost you much if you do it yourself and buy parts from junkyards and not from dealers. I had similar accident had to replace axle, control arm basically the whole knuckle all the parts cost me about like $400 and replacing wasn't that hard. I also didn't have to replace the rim cause some reason it wasn't bent. But this was on my rsx. Try searching for parts online and craigslist theres alot of wrecked cars being parted out.
