tonight i wanted to do donuts so i went to a church parkin lot and i did some. well afterwards when i was leavin there was a little bend i had to go around and i was goin at least 10 miles per hr when this happened. what happened was i slid on ice and then i bashed my left front tire into the curb the anti locks went off couldnt control the car for $hit. i belive the axle is bent and the rim is prolly bent. anyone have an idea this is gonna be worth and should i take it to the mitsu dealer to fix?

 

I hope you didn't have the Advans on did you

 

i hit a curb in the snow last month with advans on. by some grace of god there wasnt even a damn scatch on the rim. i lucked out big time.

 

If theres body damage (where the susp mounts) the dealer will just send it out to a collision shop, so find a good one and take it there yourself.

p.s. It wasent ice, God pushed you. LOL, just kidding!

 

Your lookin at close to a grand if its the rim and the axel if you gotta buy new parts.
Add $300 to that if you got the control arm to.

Thinking more about it, I bet the axel is still good. The control arm will bend before it gets to the axel. Reason I say this. Is because I got hit by a tahoo 4x4 directly in the left front of my car going about 35mph. Dead on with the left front tire. 13 g's in damage btw. And the only thing that survived was the axel. So if you were only going 10 mph Ibet it got your control arm. Its around 300$. you may get lucky and find a used rim from someone on the boards, if not its around $500. So do the math.

 

it could be that but the tire is close to the fender and its rubbin against it so do u think its the axle or jus the control arm

 

Id bet money on the control. Im almost positive. If it gets tweaked, it will change the location of the tire like you described. A bent or broken axel will NOT. You got a digi camere. If so go takes some pics of the control arm and what not and Ill tell you for sure.

 

i bet control arm also, i was in a simular situtation. I tried to drift around a curb in 3 inches of snow but came a bit to close.

 

This is lord's brother. I was in the car with him. I really don't think we were going more than 5mph. We were 50 feet from a stop light, so the speed wasn't high. The mix of PS2's and ice I guess did this. Once we lost control, we couldnt gain it back.

I'm gonna try to get a picture for you guys...

 

Nice example of a bent control arm. Notice the ring around the axle, where it was shoved into the end link of the sway bar.

 

Anothe pretty picture.

 

don't look that bad... the control arm. doh!

 

That's far from pretty.

It doesnt look THAT bad. The well and side skirt are in tact. If my brother drives it anywhere, will that happen?

 

Here is a good thread for ya about how the ABS works (doesn't work) in snow.
