frown.gif frown.gif frown.gif Last night coming home I hit a curb and jacked up my rim and it looks as though my camber is all jacked up too it was suggested that I replace the struts, springs, lower controll arm, steering knuckle and hub. frown.gif I might need to do more than that. I was hoping maybe you guys would have some suggestions. (and dont suggest that I should drive better next time)

hmm... most people take their cars to shops... and get new wheels if they get damaged...

ok anyways......i was asking for your guys opinon on what parts.....ie. upgrades. i should get (my fault for not saying "what upgrades do you suggest"). I wanted to go a route that would cost little money so I thought you guys might have some good DIY tips. i just hoped you would know of some good parts for cheap and exactly what i might need.......However I have already solved the problem. After much needed help from my friends and their auto shop I was able to find the problem and will be fixing it on monday. Looks like the only things that got ****ed up was my camber, rim, and pride. All are easy enough to fix yet unfourtunately i will have to pay to fix the rim due to the fact that is bent.

how much are you getting charged to get the rims fixed? In most cases, you're better off just buying a new wheel.

yeah i did look like a fool.....she stopped and was all like "Are you ok?"
i was about to say "WHAT THE **** DO YOU THINK? I just hit a curb and ****ed up my car." but what i actually said was: "Uh.................yeah...........................oooohhh ****kkk......my car."
Then the bitch left............didn't even offer to call someone or anything.


Estimated cost for fixing of rims: $80 for both
