what kind of damage may i have caused

[djdanny5000]

ok well today i was a big dumbass i already know this so please steer clear from calling me one and just give me answers please

ok, well i decided to take a turn today at 40mph and during the turn i hit the e-brake lots of fun till the car decided to go over a curb. i went up the curb and my rim got scuffed up and scrathed but it doesnt look bent to me also my alignment got screwed up my steering wheel now sits kinda like this / instead of like this | so im wondering if you guys have any suggestions to what i may have damaged if i did damage anything or if i just need to get my tires realigned now

You could have bent some suspension pieces for sure. Did you hit the curb with the front or rear or both?

It sounds like you hit the front wheels on the curb due to the skewed steering wheel. Get your vehicle on a lift and check out the tie rods, lower control arms etc. Hitting the curb at that pace more than likely bent something. Good luck.

ok thanks guys im gonna go get it aligned and then im gonna have my bro take it to work and lift it up and take a look at it anyone else have any other suggestions

Get the suspension and steering checked BEFORE you get an alinment. Your more then likely to burn money on the alignment cause your gonna need something replaced and a new alignment after that.

Go underneath, and check with a flashlight. Might see whiny black where bracked that held tierods got moved. I hydroplanes my VW beetle once. Bent the whole right and side of the suspension. Could easily tell I bent stuff, as brackets had shifted.

sounds like you pretty much figured out what u need to do.. but im just curious. why did you pull the ebrake half way in the turn?? were you gonna hit the curve already so pulled the ebake to try and slide out your rear to line it back up or were you just trying to drift the turn?

felt like having some fun and wanted to drift the turn guess i need to learn how to drive before i do that again though actually im never gonna do that again unless its a wide open closed course ofcourse

dumbass.....just kidding just kidding!!!


Um, you might want to PM aMaff, and see what he's done about his. I think he slid into a curb recently too. I think his damage might be worse tho, since he didn't get a chance to slow down before hitting the curb.

I am just glad you admitted it in the first post, so people did nto feel the need to rub it in too much. I hope you get your ride fixed!

 

[djdanny5000]

ok when i look under my car and if the tie rods and/or lower control arm are damaged about how much am i looking at to fix all this

 

[aMaff]

If you wanna see mine, click the link in my sig. Basically a wreck/repair blog at this point lol. Anyway, total damage for mine was right arnd $3000. That's because the dealership's doing the work (I'm a full time student and just plain don't have the time or the tools needed for the repair). Total parts was just shy of $1700, using mazda oem parts, but got dealer discount (not from my dealership lol, but still). I think I listed everything that broke on there, I don't feel like lookin through 4 pages of it right now tho lol. Lemme know if you've got any Q's, and I'll help where I can.

 

[djdanny5000]

well mine doesnt look as bad as amaff the wheel isnt pushed back touching the body like that ill see if i can take some pictures

 

[aMaff]

I hope for your sake it's not. But ya, jack the car up and get some pics of the damaged corner and lets see what u've got

 

[djdanny5000]
