So i had a bit of a mishap while driving in the backroads, all in all i hit a large patch of dirt and spun out and slid into a ditch which flipped my car onto its passenger side.
while driving it back the streering was horrible. i was scared to push it pass 30mph. but yeah took off my tire and snapped some pictures and this is the result of that night






so my question is, how bad is this?? how hard is it replace? and what needs to be replaced? and how much do you think it'll cost to fix it?? thanx in advance

RoughRex

Well, I can clearly see that the Tied Rod and Ball Joint are FUBAR. It also looks like the control arm may be bent...

I know you can get ball joints for like $25.00 each but not sure about the tie rod.

robtechfabrications

you're car is totaled...part it out :P

doesnt look to bad...you can get all those parts used at a wrecker...should swap right over...then get it alligned

NoRotor,NoMotor

you totally scared the **** outta me when u said that lol.. how long do you think it might take? is it a easy one dayer or more?

DiverseCC

yes balljoint and tierod are done, and like RoughRex said make sure you check out the control arm real good, and where it mounts on the car, most cars where it mounts with a hit like that bends some, also its probably on but keep an eye on your steering rack, since it took a good shock, i dont know how to test it other then using it, maybe someone else has an idea for that, just look good, even an small bend or crack wont be good, its not hard to fix, so you should really have any problems

It makes me wanna' cry seeing that.
I know it's not on topic really, but how bad is the body damage? It looks lioke you at least bent your fender from the side of on of the images. Though i'm sure its worse than that.

Also, if it bent that, might wanna check your strut mount and bearing etc.

NoRotor,NoMotor

yeah i cried like a btich i'm not gonna lie but i'm sure my struts are fucked and in need of new ones but here are the pictures

Seeing that brought tears to my eyes.
Have you taken it to a body shop to see how much repairs would be yet?

NoRotor,NoMotor

well its not driveable since the response was so bad and wheel was cocked, so i got it towed to my house, i don't care so much about the body right now. i just want this baby up and running again.

No offense, I am not trying to flame, be negative, or put you down, but that car is totalled. I would suggest finding a shell and putting your motor in it.


PS: Your pics made me miss my wiperless hatch, havent been able to find another one since i sold my car with it

NoRotor,NoMotor

No offense taken =)

Some people do get attatched to their cars, however, I understand where you're coming from.

its not so bad to fix, that my friend broke his control arm and snapped the sway bar as well as the tie rod, he hit a curb with his front wheel. it cost him about $400 because he needed an entire new hub and brake rotor as well

NoRotor,NoMotor

thanks so much for the replies everyone i hope to check everything out in the morning.. keep'em coming

you dont drift do you... just wondering b/c the tire i saw in the back ground. man that sucks tho. sorry to see that. i think if you got everything working again, you possibly could work it back. spending a heap load of money for a door etc. but man you are lucky... its good your okay. i had a friend of mine flip an fd and the only thing that saved his life was that he wasnt wearing a seatbelt and the car flipped perfectly to sling him into the leg compartment of the passenger side. the roof caved in so much it snapped the seats over touching the headrests into the lap area.

NoRotor,NoMotor

i don't try to drift too much.. but yeah when the car flipped over to the passenger side of the car the only thing that was holding me up was my seatbelt.. but yeah buying part to replace it! hopefully i can get pictures up soon.. but yeah those are falken azenis they work great.. thanx for your concern.. =D

I bent my ball-joint, but I had to pay outta my *** because I had no time to source a ball joint for cheap.

That car is not totalled, for me, Totalled = frame damage.

a trip to the junkyard would save you alot of money.
it seems like everytime something breaks everybody forgets to check the junkyards

Alex6969

wow all of your glass and those s5 tails aren't damaged at all

boost_its_what_for_dinner

wide body quarters and fenders should cover most of it but sorry about your car but what doesnt kill you makes you stronger in some sense i guess not sure if thats the time or place to say that though lol
