Hit a curb! Black Ice!

[jaime-johnston]

How bad do you think the damage is?! I went over black ice and went straight into a curb, I got out the car and looked round finding that the only thing I could see is that the wheel trim had fell off and the rim had a dent and the wheel had been jolted back 3 inches. I had a further look and found out that my wishbone had been bent and my anti-roll bar (i think thats what it is called) has been moved back slightly. Is this bad?! So far all i know is that i need to replace the wheel and the wishbone and see how it drives! comment and tell me how bad it is or if its ever happened to you people ?!

Im 17 and I passed my test 3 days of driving and I hit black ice i feel lost without my car ! :|

Thanks!

you're looking at replacing the damaged parts, then take it in for an alignment and cross your fingers.

how bad is it? if you have to pay a mechanic to do everything and you have a typical 17 year old income, it's probably pretty bad.

my echo is horrible without snow tires. even then, you have to be ready for understeer in slippery conditions
