So I was going home and I took a corner way too fast and ended up hitting a curb going pretty fast... probably 40 mph. Front suspension seemed all messed up but it was able to limp home. The steering was really loose, steering wheel was turned half a turn to the right to go straight, wandering, weirdness on full lock, etc.By some amazing happening only the left inner tie rod was bent. (supposedly... according to alignment shop... I have doubts though) Replaced that, got an alignment and now its a lot better than before. The only problem is the rear. When I hopped up on the curb the left rear wheel took a beating and now looks like it has negative camber (so the wheel is tilted like /) and is toed out just a bit. I have to steer a bit to the left to go straight. As far as chassis damage goes... crossmember, subframe, strut mounts... is there anything else I need to worry about? That's all I really care about - I want to get this car back to how it was before. I don't mind replacing suspension arms... I just don't want any serious damage. I guess I should take it to a good alignment shop and let them do some measuring.
check tie rods, if he hit at 40mph i would check wheel bearings, control arm, and ball joints, what car he drives???
Thanks buddy, got it in the shop, waiting on results
