Wrecked front drivers side suspension

Came up to a turn last night kinda sharp with a cement median mistook the speed and angle ended up loosing traction skidding a ramming my left front tire into the curb. I had to get it towed laqst night becausxe it was un driveable. I pulled off the tire this morning and it seems like pretty much everything that was connected to the wheel is either broken or bent badly. Just guessing but iam assuming every suspension component on that side of the car needs to be replaced and i masy have to have some frame work don to that side of the car. Can anyone point me in the direction to getting these parts and can anyone give me an estimate around how much this will cost. For what its worth the rest of the car doesnt even have a scratch.

Man when i did the same thing, it came to a total of $6000! That was all dealer charges and labor, plus repainting a fender and a new bumper.

Guesstimate:

Control arm: 130
Wheel Hub 150
Rim: 350
Tire: 120
Brake Rotor:50
Pads:50
Caliper:100
Strut:100
Strut Mount:50
Swaybar:60
Swaybar end link:40

Conservitave guess for parts: 1500

Then add Labor

Yea but yours wasnt missing the space in between the spokes AND half of a spoke. It wasn't pretty at all. Had pieces of my rim in my trunk for a while.

if you fix it, spend some money on some decent tires and springs so it doesn't happen again.
