i just ruined my car

[TheBulldog]

this sux. yesterday, i ran my car into a curb, hard, and i royally screwed ur my car. i bent the lower a-arm on the front, i screwed up both rims, beyond recognition, and i somehow shifted the axle over to the right three inches. what can i do? sould i fix it myself? insurance claim? find a salvage yard? HELP!

I've done the EXACT same thing, and I know others have too. Total for me was around $950, including 260 shipped for 4 new firebird 16x8's (SLP), 200 of work at our body shop guy (who wasn't doing body work, but straightening some suspension pieces), and 380 or so at another guy, who mounted the 4 wheels / tires, alignment, new tie rod and installation, and a code scan for my misfire.

I'm already sending my old 2 sway bars to someone off the board, but if you want my old panhard rod (that's one reason the axle wouldn't be located correctly -- you might have ripped the mounts right off of the frame or axle), it's all yours.

I did my wreck in the rain. THANKFUL AS HELL that I didn't hit anyone, much less go off the overpass / bridge onto 795.

hopefully it is just the panhard br that would screw it up and not me tweaking the chassis. i guess i could really use the panhard bar but i don't have any money right now(stupid expensive prom, and now i have to rent a lmo or borrow a car) so if you could hold on to it for me for just a little while i'll take if off your hands as soon as possible. thanx man.

You can check what's bend if you get under the car.

yeah i can see it. it's pretty screwed up. it bent and hit my muffler andlet a pretty big dent in it, almost ripped it. man rob, i guess i'll take that panhard rod, how much you want for it?
