ok i was drivin at like 5 in the mornin to work. and was making a right turn, half way through the turn i hit a puddle of water and my car started to slide, then hit the front drivers wheel on the median thing. looks like the wheel got pushed in and back. any idea how much this might cost to fix? or what i might have bent?

Cost is dependant on the damage. You may just need an alignment, but it could be a bent upper or lower control arm, or possibly the front knuckle.

Or a severely-bent subframe. Does it drive straight? What sort of weird problems does it have now, if any? What kind of car - I'm assuming it's a prelude?

Only real way to be sure is to have a chassis guy look at it, and put it on a straightening rack at a body shop.

 

i did the exact same thing three weeks ago i cost me about 150 ti fix the lower control arm and fender i was going like 40 when i hit the island curb. so id say your damage is prob simular

 

hopefully its the same prob and doesnt cost me that much to fix. immma take it to the shop tomorow and see whats up.

 

I did the same exact thing, my wheel now sits a few inches back in the wheel well, and the steering wheel sits a bit to the right.

I hope its LCA. They can be had pretty cheap on ebay.
