Hey guys just slammed my brand new baby into a curb in the snow and bent the driver side control arm. I'm looking for any recomendations on what I Should do. Please help. Thanks

 

get a new one, replace it, get an allignment, be done with it.

 

It would also help I any one is parting there's out and selling one. I want to spend minimal money on this since I am still hurting from the purchase itself :-(

 

insurance?

you've likely blown the bearings and strut too. likely the tie rods and sways are tweaked too.

 

Yea, bro. Contact your insurance. That was a crash. Make sure when you are speaking to the insurance rep you tell them it was an unreported traffic crash. If they require a police report go to your local police station and report a delayed single car crash.

 

I did the same thing man, I'm gonna find out what else is messed tomorrow hopefully. Best case scenario is it's just the control arm which is $350.

If you can, post back here and let us know what all was messed up and how much you gotta pay to replace.

 

Insurance company said it wasy subframe connector, rim, and front bumper that has to be replaced. They won't know anything else until they try to do an alaignment sometime this week. That's also depending on the availability of the parts

 

I hit a boulder before and bent the lower control arm. It was either $350 just for the part or free by just using a hydralic and pull it back till it was straight. My bend wasn't that bad it was only 1" off center from the good side. They were able to pull it back straight and align.

 

did the same thing, i have a sound now thats not the bearing... took it to the dealer they said the sound was my exaust rattling.

 

Man I hope when I get my car back that I don't have any weird little issues :-/
