The other day I had gotten into a pretty bad mess up. I was driving and took a left (should tell you guys that it was raining) and I must've hit a pool of water cuz my back wheels slipped and started drifting. Well I counter streared too much and spun my car around doin a 360 and hitting my rear driver side wheel into the curb. Now its bent. Well just wondering if anyone knows what this might cost me. Darn mother nature....heard it's around $1000. Seems high for one wheel/axel/arm or what not. But I really have no clue. Help would be useful. Thnx.

Is the wheel simply bent or does it have positive/negative camber? Or both?

Kanges

Both...

If it is $1000 am I better off doining something else to it?

depends on what really the damage is and how much the car is worth..

Kanges

Damage is to the left rear. Just about everything:
Trailing Arm
Suspension Strut
Wheel Hub
Stabilizer Link
Control Arm Bushing and
Front Alignment...
...
Most parts I could probably find at a Junk. Any know of any that would have 95 civic parts around Milwaukee Area? But about do-it-yourself...I don't know about that....
Sux for me.

You can probably just get the whole rear trailing arm assembly at a local junkyard and slap it on yourself if you know what you`re doing. It will definately cost less than $1000.

you better hope that you didn't bend the rear subframe (where LCA hooks up too).

If you didn't repair shouldn't cost you more then $500.

cant you make an insurance claim??

Kanges

Nope. Noone I took it to said anything about that and it doesn't look like it. But I also haven't gotten anywhere near $500. Am I being ripped off? Or am I just too worried?
