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!

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
