Default Problem!!!

Well, it's not as bad as I made it out to be but it's pretty bad and I'm wondering if this has happened to anyone else...

One day a couple weeks ago I was traveling along and then all of a sudden...****!!! BRAKES!!!! Slowed down enough to what I thought was safe to roll over this freakin ditch like thing in the road. Construction crew left an open ditch in the road without a sign or anything. Well, I cruised over it and BAM...(front tires)...BAM...(rear tires)... Go home and look under the car, didn't see anything, so I thought I was set. Now, there's a Sqeeking noise that sounds like bad bushings on one side and I looked under the hood, just to see what it looked like and make sure everything was tightened...Sure enough everything was tightened but now there are dents in my engine bay where the control arms hit and two (on one side) slits from the camber kit bolts. I took pictures but have no way of hosting them.

Has this ever happened to anyone?? Freakin blows...What do you guys think I should do? Take it somewhere to weld it and put some paint on it?? Or do you think it will be ok?? I'm assuming the bushings were pushed beyond their point and they are probably bad...but I'll have to drive on them for just a while.

Thanks for the help guys...

Latez,

Paul
