bad enough

[Dropped02xd]

yuh its scratched pretty bad....my gf said she will buy me a new rim. But like before how much to replace a control arm? If the control arm is replaced what else needs to be done to get it back alligned?

[ilanpro]

Just go to a junk yard and take the whole assembly then you should be OK

Lol i did the same thing to my gls 02 a couple months ago. It was raining and i was taking a left turn at about 30 mph and started hydroplaning right into a bridge curb. I messed up my whole front axle, suspension and everything. Like the front right tire was hanging diagonally like \\ instead of ||. Bridgecurbs = 10 inches of concrete... and there was pretty much nothing i could do since i wasn't expecting to hydroplane... i mean who does... so the whole thing costed 2k+ to repair about 700 of it was labor and i went to a hyundai dealer since it was about 12pm and i didnt know anywhere else to go so i just had it towed there... so pissed off about it. Were you still able to drive off cuz when i went off the curb, i heard a horrible crunching/dragging sound of my front right tire... so i knew it wasnt going anywhere. Also i have stock rims and suspension. And about 10-15 parts were on this list of things needed to be ordered and replaced...

[Dropped02xd]

was yours under warnity? or did u use insurance or what? I kno the guy at a body shop and hes putting my body kit on and hes gonna look at it and see what he can do. I think i juss need to replace the control arm and axle....

[Choking Hazard]

I did this last winter. Bent the lower control arm on the drivers side. Cost me about $500 to replace that, a new stock rim, and labor. Not to bad I guess. I went to a private shop. But try not to drive on it. That makes it much much worse.

[slow 2K2GT]

dude thats harsh. When I scratched one of my rims I almost threw up, now with something like that I would be a total write off. Best of luck to you.

[FordFasteRR]

If you take it to the dealer, they will ram you hard ! LOL

like over $1000 in damage there, you'll need a new control arm for sure, then they would have to determine if any of the power steering components were damaged & the strut and aother related parts...

It could get ugly... my suggestion, drive the car off a cliff (hopefully with out you in it) and get an 04 XD2 :) J/K ! :)

Hmm... if you have full cover insurance, and a low deductible, you can have them pay for the repairs.

[EliteElantra02]

Just thought I'd throw out a couple of other things that are BAD:
Hair Dryers+ Water=BAD
Hot Curling Irons+ Hands= BAD
100 miles per hour+ A cop w/ radar on you=BAD

You really hit that curb hard...take it easy next time..lol

[mbv2001]

About a year ago I bent my control arm bar and at the dearler its was I think 750 with everything only took them like a day or two to get it done yea I hit a curb while raining as well but I also got ran off the road..
And on a freakin side note somebody hit my damn car while it was parked and left didn't leave a note or nuffin! Yea but your looking at about 700 maybe more

[tharptroy]

I caught some curbage when I first got my car. I definetely ****ed some stuff up, it was all bent, but nothing was broken.

the total was about $1100 at a dealership

[Dropped02xd]

Called insurance today and its being fixed right now. Needs new control arm and there still looking at it to see what else. Only costing me $250. :bowdown:

It may only cost you $250 now but it will cost you more money down the road when your premium goes up.

WOW
That's good to hear!
Did you get a reantal car?

[silet]

You may have chassis damage at the back mounting point of the control arm. The wheel is sitting too far back for the size of the crack on the control arm, plus the way the fender has crumbled a bit... I hit a curb with my 99 and that was a weak point. I was lucky I only ended up with +.35 deg camber, but caster was 5 degrees off, and two alloys shot. Body shop wanted $200 to straighten it out, but they recommended not to bother if the car drove straight. Drove it for another 50 K miles with no problems before traded it in...

:drive: :smiley_ab :znaika: :bling: O.k. way before we all got wise and bought Elantras.....I owned a 94 Prizim....I wrecked it on you guessed it......wet road and drainedge ditch....well I bent the control arm,pushed the front passenger side up and back about 3" AND went over a pipe that was buried in the ground at 60mph plus....I went to a local junk yard picked up a lower control arm,bought a ball joint and fixed it myself for a TOTAL cost of about $150...of course I rented abay at Ft. Hood....but its ws easy as hell...took me about 2 hours and had my friends dad do 4 struts and wheel allignment for a case of beer....priced at about $300....(his dad is manager of a firestone station).....I would do it myself..its real easy...

[Dropped02xd]

so my cast and camber is ****ed 2?

[CTele02]

Well, i too didn't know what the hell was wrong with the car so i knew it was better off at the dealership mechanics. They do charge more, but at least i know that they know what they're doing since they handle hyundais all day and can order the parts (took about a week to get in and around 15hours of labor including allignment and other stuff). Warranty doesn't cover accidents... and i didn't use insurance since i knew my premium would go way up so i paid all check.

I just mentioned it so you are not surprised if they tell about it. I really hope I'm wrong!!!
