How badly did you hit the curb. I hit a curb going pretty fast and all I did was make a dimple in the rim. I did much worse damage hitting the pole shortly thereafter

be sure your front and rear beam are still in good shape(also referred as cross members) and be sure to get an alignment after fixed VERY IMPORTANT!

it was pretty bad...my rim in front is cracked the whole way across and the control arm in front broke, it also took out a piece of the rotor and stripped the whole ball joint it tore it out of the bolt...thats the front...in the back it wasnt that bad it just scratched up the rim and its kinda crooked now...but we already fixed the front...and now we need to fix the back
