Today driving to work I avoided rearending someone by careening into a Curb, OUCH! Did that Hurt, Broke My Rim, and Tweaked my Suspension. I can't wait to see the bill on this one, oughta be great. Can't find these rims anymore so I have to by a new Set. Plus New Tires, not to mention what else I might need under the suspension. Any Guesses?

 

I feel your pain! A few months ago I was in an accident where I was pinned between a Chevy 2500 series pickup and the curb! I bent the tierods and the control arms. Thankfully that was all. I can't imagine that you'd be much worse off.

As for the wheel, my insurance company had mine repaired and refinished for $150, but then weren't bent or broken, just torn up.

Are you going through your insurance? They should cover the rim and the tire minus wear.

Glad that noone was hurt!

 

i broke my sway bar connect and my lower control arm and bent a rim when colliding with a curb

anyway i fixed it my self in about 8 hours after i got the parts

rim refinished = $100 (got screwed on that)

lower control arm from salvage yard = $50

sway bar connect = $11

4 wheel lifetime alignment and balance = 170

total= 331

if you wanna know how ill post some instructions... very easy... i think i still have all the torque specs... the parts guy at the dealership will usually give you them if you need them

i live in dallas if you really need help and live in the area

 

At least you were okay. What caused the near rearending in the first place? They stop short?

It was a Rota N1R Rim, 16' Trying to find one and I can't, sort of sucks. Might have to replace all 4.
