Hit a curb doing about 20-25, think car might be fuged

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!

    • Overall it was a fun pleasant surprise of a game. That final drive by the Panthers was atrocious though. It would have been nice to at least go down landing a few blows not just punching air. We shrunk in the moment. I don't want to say it took away from the rest of the game but it was certainly unfortunate.
    • you guys are 100% butt buddies, and you know it. you know who im talking about without even having to list names. its the same 5 users that spend their free time on here dumping on the panthers every move and especially anything regarding Bryce. you pie each others posts, quote each other, all day. this forum is slowly dying and posters like you guys are contributing to it. this is a fan forum. if you hate the team and product so much, why waste any time on here? I'm not sure what "L" you are referring to, there is no winners or losers here. we both have an opinion. I choose to remain positive over things I can't control. I choose to spend my free time on other things other than bitching and complaining about a football team I root for. You do not.
