I hit something like a curb (some sort of broken cement block or a pretty damn big rock). Take a look:

you might have messed up the alignment!! get it checked but i don't think you broke you axle! But still go somewhere and have it looked at! I hope everything works out for you!

When I hit the... ummm.... whatever the object was, It ****ed up my axle AND my Lower control arm. Mitsu charged me my whole body to fix it (as opposed to just an arm and a leg). They charged me $450 for the Control arm to be replaced and charged me $900 for the axle to be fixed.

no it means that one wheel is not aligned with the other wheel on the other side or to the specs to the car to keep it centered in the wheel well, its like when you get rims its a good idea to check if your car is aligned right. wheels might be to big, but it your problem the wheel is not set right with the rest of the car. does your car pull to any sides when you are driving??

Well, having lowering springs now is the least of ur worries... cuz the accident is not "under warranty". My car is bone stock and yet I had to pay for parts and labor. So whether or not you have aftermarket springs doesnt matter n e more.

Yeah, whatever the problem is you will have to pay. I wish they covered road damage. I mean, couldnt they build an axle or control arm that can take a slight beating without getting bent?
