um, this does not sound like a DIY job. if the front strut is that badly damaged from a hit there's probably a whole lot more bent then what any one of us could help you with. were talking frame pull and suff (if the strut tower is dislocated)

My recomendation, have the car towed to a colision repair shop and have them write a sheet on it. you did get the insurance info from the person who hit you right?

Well, Given the potential cost of repairs, you may want to re-think not going after her in small claims court... we are talking some serious change if the car needs to be put on the frame rack. But like I said, take it to a shop and have an estimate written. you need to know what's broke before you can plan on how to fix it.

FYI...just to be clear: Bush isn't from Texas...he was born in Connecticut. As a native Texan, I always make it a point to tell people that.

Lets see here "J_UNIT"... From what research I have done on you since you been on 7thgencivic.com you haven't helped one person! So for you trying to help is long from here.

Then calling names " UR A DUMB@$$" isn't going to change a damn thing. He says he needs help and he feels bad. Yes what he has done is wrong and I hope he does fix it(INS.). "Zzyzx" on the other hand deserves 1+Rep from "movfyw" for helping him out.

Another thing what does Texas and Bush have to do anything with this situation! So are you dissing all of us Texans because of one person. Yeah each state has it's faults. And you’re dissing on Bush this and that being from here... yeah I think "dma001" already corrected that one. Also lets see you live in Tampa, FL... OH wait Bush's younger brother Jeb Bush is the governor of Florida. lol

All I am saying "noobie" you need to calm down and lose that sharp tongue of yours! Because right now "G_Unit" you sound like the typical Pep boys and AutoZone shopper that has a big APC sticker across your windshield with chrome 15" rims from Wal-Mart.

And yes I am a proud Native Texan and Republican. Everyone is entitled to their opinions but some need to be kept to them self.
