Cvc wheel problem

i was involve in car accident this weekend and i spun out of control and hit a wall...

now the thing is that my wheel moves like it was broken and so does the stearing wheel...

i looked underneath and i seen that my lower control arm was bent and my front anti-say bar

is also broken...

i was wondering if i replaced those parts would my car drive normal once again...because if i

take it to the dealer there goin to charge me an arm and a leg....

or what do you guys suggest???????????

If the unibody is damaged, it may never drive properly again. If its a replaceable part like the LCA and swaybar end then you might get away with it. If it was me, I'd reaplce the LCA and fix the swaybar and then go from there. Either way those have to be fixed... good luck.

HondaLuver will become famous soon enough
LCA, lower control arm....

once a car is in a accedent, the car will never be the same... if i where you i would just upgrade everything under there, or just replace it with stock... and get a alignment

Crashoveride is an unknown quantity at this point
Yeah you should really get a mechanic to at least look at and see what damage has really been done.
You would first want to replace the LCA and the Sway Bar, and get an alignment, check the rim as well to make sure its not bent.
Go from there.

Good Luck
