Wrecked. Help.

Ok, I was doing 45 maybe 50, and went over a hill. Mainly over some shrubs and **** like that, i ripped all the plastic stuff under the car off, blew and dented my front passenger side rim, and destroyed the front fender.

I was just wondering if you think i bent the frame.

Re: Wrecked. Help.

Plastic stuff is optional. I've been running without it for three years now. Like gear said, replace the rim take it for a drive and see how it handles. Well, before that, clean all the greenery off and have a peek underneath the car when it's either jacked up or (preferably) on a lift. That way you can see the extent of the damage.

Post pics.

well, i did bend the radiator support.

I talked to someone else, and they said if that is damaged, then it probably took the brute of the force.

Re: Wrecked. Help.

well, broken is probably the wrong word, more like bent, which can be straightened, which im not saying it is bent, but its better to be safe than sorry, most alignment shops, or mechanic shops can tell u if its bent

Re: Wrecked. Help.

Take it to a body shop... most mechanics wont be able to tell without a costly fee. And if they find something wrong with it the only real place to fix it would be a body shop. F the BS take it to a body shop let em put it on their frame machine, witch is laser measured with exact frame measurements. JMO

Not bad. Easy fix. About $120 in parts and an hour's worth of labor. Pretty easy to do.
