I drive (drove) a $400 beater. I’ve had it for almost 2 years, and I fell in love with it. It’s a little 1998 dodge neon. It gets great gas mileage and it’s just a excellent cruiser on the highway.

Last night I was on my way home when I hit the curb. It was pretty much misting the whole day so the street was wet and slippery. I shouldn’t admit it but I had bald tires. I mean completely bald, no tread at all. Being a cheap car I didn’t feel like putting money in it. Well I regret that and I won’t do that again because when I was making a turn, the car slid straight I slammed the brakes but it was too late. I hit the curb really hard. The wheel is leaning in the opposite direction from this video and also the wheel is pushed pretty much into the fender. You can barely turn the wheel before it rubs the back of the fender. After throwing a spare on I limped it home but it doesn’t drive right anymore at all. I’m gonna tear into it tomorrow, but the car is not drivable anymore. If you try to go over 25mph the whole thing just death wobble’s and even going slow the whole car just shakes. I’m so mad at myself and I can’t bear to let that little car go. Besides what I just did, there is literally nothing else wrong with the car. Not a single warning light in the engine runs perfect! Maybe a new K frame?

My son was pulling out of his driveway, 2005 Toyota Matrix, took a left hand turn and heard some kind of a bad noise. He got out and looked at his right rear tire angled in at the top of the tire, and called a tow. The garage is looking at it today. I dont understand why there was no preliminary warning noises or handling issues. My gut tells me it is something rust related and it is not going to be good,

I just bought a 2003 chevy tahoe 2wd that was crash on the passenger side an that tire still look bent ive changed lower ball joint because that one was bent wheel hubs are new. Not sure what to change so the wheel stays aligned with the alignment

[josephhalwagy]

well done for a great work as usual. thanks for sharing

[JesusDaLawd]

I replaced my knuckle strut lower control arm and outer tie rod but my wheel ended up with a negative camber any suggestions on why? Its a 2009 honda civic

[mike]

If I buy and sell cars is it a must to do alignment ?? After I fix the suspension??

[salimalriyami]

I have same issue collision
Did u replace the axle or shift
I only replace shockup now iam hear sound come after 30miles from the same side

[saraallen]

When something like this happens with a CV driven car does it affect the transmission?

[adriancortez]

My car was hit on the passenger side, 2023 chevy equinox premier. The tire was bent inward, and it looked as if I had my wheel all the way turned. It wouldn't budge when trying to turn it the other way. Car was deemed totaled due to that being the majoy reason, suspension I believe? I have not gotten the report on it yet, should I? To see if it's fixable?

This is what happen to my car BRU Like I got it new I only had it for 5 days it’s same exact thing about the wheel bent like that but for the rear one my friend stole keys and hit it into the curb and the mechanic is telling its gonna cost 3k to fix what should I do with the car I try selling it for 1500 none buying it how can I fix this issue without having to pay 3k

[miguelmachuca]

do you have to do the same thing to the other side since you change one side?

[vinren]

How much do you think it will cost to get this done at the mechanic

[baileystark]

What lead you to the decision to replace those parts? Is that just standard procedure for a wreck like this?

[illusionzauto]

great video. Looks like you did this fairly quick over some time. My girlfriend got into an accident where the wheel was pushed in exactly the same. Body shop has her truck now and says it will take almost 2 months. Is this normal?

[justinthapa]

how much do you think it should cost to fix this

[arrowskicks]

Was the body bent? Lady hit me and looked like the same damage but my fender all tore up.

[tashaleettv]

My sons car has the same issue what prices would he be looking at with a mechanic? I have found a car same model as his car but know nothing about putting all parts on. which do u recommend?

[theglobalistchannel]

What if its sunked in at the bottom instead of the top???

[tashaleettv]

awesome video btw. How long do u think that would of taken you?

[the_scarletta]

Hey this an amazing video! Quick question, i hit my car on a curb because my car stalled midturn and it looks pretty much like the car in video. Im planning on doing this same fix but im concerned there may be another issue relating to the engine. It turns on the same but the rumbling is very hard. nothing was leaking and the damage on the font end is pretty much only up the fans. Do you think this fix would stop the rumbling or do you i need new engine mounts or anything else?
