Last night i was exiting the freeway and i got onto the offramp. As I was going down the offramp some car out of nowhere comes to close to me I guess and does the pit maneuever to me and i lose control and spin out. I spin out into the curb alongside the exit and my rear right tire smashes into the curb and is now bent inwards.

Now my question is what parts do you guys think i need? I know i need a new tire, possibly a new rim, and lower control arm. Any other parts you guys can list out that i will need.

As far as pics I dont know if I will be able to get any up.

There really is no way to tell without pics.
Every accident is different, but im sorry to hear about your bad luck

 

Are you sure you were bumped or did you just lose control exiting at a high rate of speed. The reason I ask is because if someone pushed me off the road, and I posted up about it, I would have included whether the guy got away or if I got his license number or whatever. Good luck on your repairs.

Oh, btw, did he just leave the scene or what?

 

that would suck if the other guy left the scene. sry for your loss. but the repairs will prolly include lca,shock,sway bar(possibly)

 

no i did not lose control of the car and crash. Ya the sway bar is bent inwards and the lca needs to be replaced. Need a new tire definitely and possibly a new rim. I need to get it towed tomorrow and see wut else is wrong with it.

Also I was not able to get any plates because I did a 720 and I was too dazed to pay attention to the car and get plates and by the time i did gain control the car was already around the corner of the exit.

 

bump

 

pictures!?

 

Pics are up. Went by my car today to see if i should tow it or not and the tow truck driver said it will not be good to tow because if we put it on a bed and we drive it to where you want there might be more damage. Best thing to do he said is to bring someone to fix it at the scene.

After taking a look under the car i realized there is/might be some frame damage. Can you guys please help tell me what to do. Whether to take it somewhere they take care of collision or just take it to mechanic.

Pictures are up so any input would be appreciated.

 

ouch

 

A friend that came with me who has had a mechanic shop said that this is something that you need to take to a place where they take care of collisions, not accidents because there is frame damage.

 

yah, i can see that teh subframe is bent out pretty badly, but once that is straightened out (might be able to do it with a hammer) a new Lca should be all you need unless the trailing arm is bent.

 

oh yah, have you checked yo see if the twisting shock tore out the upper shock mount?

 

damn, everything is bent to ****

 

Dam! lucky! no body damage. hard to tell from pics. fix the obvious and go from there!

 

the subframe looks tweaked, so you are going to have to replace that along with all the other parts you mentioned in the OP. sucks dude. good luck fixing it.

 

no body damage at all. Just what you see is what is wrong. So can this be fixed without taking it to a proper bodyshop or jus take it to a mechanic?

 

The subframe looks bent. The LCA got the **** taken out of it. Your trailing arm might be bent too.

 

Parts and repair cost$$????????

someone did the pit maneuver on you, and there's no body damage?

of course you lost control..

 

totaled

 

Looks at the thread in my Signature.. On the last page thats what it costed me, You could have unibody damage

 

Hopefully there isn't too much damage, I would get an estimate done and have professionals take a look at it. You do have insurance right?

 

Insurance? I only have liability so not much help there.

 

Any other parts could be damaged. Is the frame fixable if i dont take it to a collision shop?

 

if your frame is fine, i don't think it is though, just go junk yard shopping. im pretty sure you should get away with spending like $100-150 .

you def need to replace lca maybe upper arm as well, and trailing arm
