lca is probably bent.. see if ur axle is messed up. it's not worth fixing. get rid of the car. buying used parts for the car alone will cost more than what the car is worth. go get a new car. that car is worth like 700 dollars if ur lucky :\

pull ur DOHC and part out the car and buy a new one for like 700 dollars

 

yes get rid of it!!!! The same thing happend to me!!! I messed up a whole alot of SH**!!!!

 

bummer i luv this car

 

any other opinions???

 

buy the parts at a junkyard and dont listen to these fools.

 

same thing happened to me a while ago. i broke my rim, and bent my lower control arm. you might have bent the crossmember also.

go to a dismantling shop/yard to see if you can find replacements.

 

keep the car and go here for parts if your area salvage yards don't have alot avail.

good luck

 

There is a more likely than not possibility that the car will never be the same. Think about it, you just impacted at speed, your entire front right (or left maybe I guess) suspension into the side of your car. There was once a guy on the ITR forum a couple years ago here that had a similar incident at lower speed with no visible damage. It cost him several thousand to fix it. You will definitely have to take the car to a bodyshop or chassis place and have them pull out that side a little. When you impact steel, it bends. Your car's chassis is no exception.
