took a turn going a little fast combined with wet roads and wet leaves, and bam front right tier slammed into the curb. Rim is done, wheel bearing is done.. not sure if the axle is bent i'm praying its not. It had to get towed so i won't know until tomorrow.. It was only a block from my house, so i tied to drive it home.. and when i tried to all i heard was a clicking sound than a loud pop and saw grease from the wheel bearing go all over.. Anyone have any ideas what might be wrong and how much $$$ it might be? I'm really bumed right now but going away on wensday so i wouldn't really be able to drive my car anyway..

thanks for all the support guys. if the car was at all drivible i might be able to have someone else do the work, or help me out. but it'd cost me to get it towed anywhere, and since the mechanical is a client of my dads i'm sure he'll cut us as much slack as possible. he said he order a front end from another celica and should have it pretty quick. I talked to wheelsnext about my rim insurance and they will cover it, but it porbably will be a few weeks by the time i ship it back and get a new one from them, so even tho it might be fixed soon i'll have to find a wheel to throw on so i can drive. But all in all i learned my lesson and it can always be worse. hopefuly this summer i'll still be able to do some of the things i wanted to, to the celica. smile.gif
