Today it was pouring down rain all day and I was driving along a major highway about to merge onto a different highway. The interchange was lazily and poorly engineered, but that's beside the point. I went to make the left turn and my car slid, thus I lost control. I hit the curb at about a 45 degree angle with the passenger side front wheel. The car will drive, but barely. It pulls hard to the left. The wheel is pushed back to about an inch from the back of the wheel well and the link between the stabilizer bar and the control arm snapped off. I also think I broke a brake line, as the brake pedal sometimes hits the floor when I go to brake. The rim is pretty scraped, but the tire surprisingly did not puncture. I think it could be either a bent control arm or, at worst (please GOD no), a bent subframe. Any idea on what to do and what it will cost? Thanks

Probaly bent the steering rack/tie rod end. Front hub assy and any links to the front subframe assy.

You didn't mention what type of car it is, if it has a seperate front lower subframe assy you might have tweaked that as well.

You might have broken a brake line or damaged the caliper so dont drive it anymore.

If you have insurance this will probably be worth filing a claim on as it will cost you some bucks unless you get parts from a junk yard and do it yourself.

G/L!

      Everything revolves around Bryce This Year

      Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly.

      Cam had the advantage of having a very strong supporting cast his first 2 seasons. Things definitely worsened later on. But those first couple of years can kill a QB. Some never truly recover. If they do recover it takes years, and usually with another team. Trying to learn to be an NFL QB with TEs and WRs that are trying to learn too is a recipe for disaster. Imagine if Cam's rookie season was that 2014 offensive squad. Changes everything! I said it when they moved up in 2023. This team wasn't ready for a rookie QB yet. Anyone that thinks Stroud would have been a lot better is delusional. The correct formula is to build a strong team and then you go get your rookie QB. Not the other way around. BY is going into his third season and we're still trying to put a respectable group of WRs and TEs around him. I think they have the right personnel now. Unfortunately they haven't developed into actual NFL players yet.  This season we should expect consistency and aggressiveness from BY. Mostly for his development but also to DEVELOP his young cast.

      It is goofy how some people hate Bryce so much that they're flat out lying to try and remain entitled to their pessimism. It's insanity. Most fans are realists and eagerly awaiting the season to see if we get pre- or post-benching Bryce to start the season and how much he is able to do with some young and developing weapons. Many of us understand that these young guys are going to have growing pains on the job as well as the new defense, but the fans with all of the excuses for why Bryce can't be successful are pounding the no excuses drum. Personally, I'd prefer the Keep Pounding drum.
