Well..... i was going around a corner, hit some sand and went straight into the curb


I'm probably going to just take it to a dealer to get fixed, but i'm trying to get an idea of what i'm in for before i do it.

So far looks like this is what i need:

new wheels (obviously)
driver side control arm
(Not sure if the cv joint came out or not, maybe somebody can help me here)
rear axel

Thats just a quick guess let me know if you think i'm missing something. Here's some pictures of the carnage so you can get an idea.












thanks guys. . . .

 

OOooh, those last few pics dont look to good.

 

(what he saidouchies on the bottom couple)

did you find out what its gonna cost to fix everything?

 

is that the rear cross member or the frame

 

looks like the rear cross member

 

How fast were you going? ...I agree, those last 2 pics look real serious like....

 

those welded in or bolted in

 

bolted in

 

thats not good at all..... yikes.

 

in the words of my insurance man.... " oooo ah.. yeah thats totaled..." let me know if your going to do a part out..

sorry for your loss

 

being bolted in still aint good for that thing being that bent

 

can someone say insurance...when i had an accident like this that was only the front part...labor and all cost my ins like 5k....dude.....call the insurance...cheaper in the long run!!!

looks oh so not happy...is the frame bent at all....

 

from my original post:

i dont want to claim it. my insurance would probably drop me. only what i took pictures of appears to be damaged from initial inspection. What i'm wondering is what all parts people may think is damaged, what parts and such

 

That cross member is the twist beam that holds the rear trailing arms in line i.e. it's part of the rear axle assembly, and a sideways blow to the rear wheels will cause that kind of damage, but there may well be no damage to the mounts (seen in the last photo), since the bushings will tolerate a fair amount of twisting without pushing the bolt flanges too far out of line, so all of that should be fixable by replacing the axle assembly. Not cheap, probably $800, but may not require any bodywork, though it's made contact with the floorpan in the middle.

 

you dont bend a subframe up like that without causing damage to the unibody. the car will likley need to go on a frame jig and be pulled. thats a pricey fix, i also have to agree, use insurance. if you dont think itll be that bad, get it towed in for an estimate.

 

insurance is your friend. That is pretty bad and the stealership will rape you hard.

 

from the first few it didnt seem too bad but the last one makes me wanna see a video of what actually happened:|

 

You hit HARD bro. Ouch!!

 

ohhh bro thats a kick straight in the nuts.... your better to part that out an start fresh

 

dude, i fucked up so hard. My car is in the shop right now, $3500 worth of damage plus a reckless driving ticket, exhibition of speed, and a speeding ticket. I may be parting out depending on what my parents say.

 

I would tow it to a collision shop that does a free estimate. You'll have to sort through their bullshit, but it will give you an idea...

 

how do you people get in such bad accident

 

well rekless driveng and an exhibition of speed ticket makes it pretty clear. yea id call your ins. it may suck but thats gonna cost ya. good luck

 

omg at first i said not big deal since that happened to me one night i was drunk, it turned out i needed a new rim. But those last two pictures look bad. thank god those days are behind me cuz insurances play rough if you get caught.

 

was filming a movie and took a 90 degree turn at 50mph. didn't work out to well...We got it all on video though! Ill show it to you guys once we get the tape back from the cops
