Hey guys, so i was just driving to school and i lost control of my car and slid into the curb. There is nothing broken but my wheel is wobblin quite a bit. I think i bent my drivers control arm.
How much is this gonna cost to fix, where can i get a new one?

I got the left and right sides installed for $400, parts and labor. Didn't seem too difficult, if I had a lift and airtools I would have definitely done it myself. You should be able to buy it at any local parts chain, but it may be a special order item. Autozone stocks them for about $115 each.

Check your wheel maybe bent...wheel should be the weakest link.

It looks like im gonna have to take it to she shop and see whats wrong but i hate paying a mechanic for labor i could do on jack stands. I was suprised to see that i didnt pop a tire but bent the control arm. How often does this happen on these cars.

check under the car to see if the rim is bent inside or just take it off

Easy to check the wheel. Could have bent a strut.

Lift the car and rotate the wheel. If it wobbles, you've got a bent wheel.

bent rim and tie rod are the two most likely things. I highly doubt you bent the control arm.

First thing I would do is bring it to a shop that can do wheel balances and alignments. That way when they put the wheel up for balancing, they can see if it is actually a balance problem or if the wheel is bent. Also, they can double check your alignment specs to see if it is still within range.

I slid into a curb last year going about 15 mph. When I brought it to get fixed, the mechanic wouldn't believe I was going anything under 40 to make that kind of damage I did to the control arm. so, it's easier to break than you make think. $500 too. Kills me to spend $500 to have a $150 part installed, but, I had to do it.
