I am willing to bet the lower control arm is all jacked up, especially since it's rubbing on the fender. This happened to my mom on her car and it looked the same way as yours on the picture and it was around 150 for the part at the local junk yard, and 75 bucks for the CV joint........ her husband put it on. So sorry and wish you the best of luck,
Jess

nah man i have the kumho ecsta 711.
Hey jessicagmz, thnx for the info, i think im gonna go get my car checked and see what the problem is, i just have the biggest feeling the shops are gonna tell me more things than i would need so that they can get more money. i dont want insurance in this because its gonna get so high and id rather pay for the damage. this morning i checked it out again and i still see no damage, i checked the struts, rotor, the axle arm, everything, i dont seee n e thing, im hoping if i take off the feel and look at it better, it might just be bent. but the junk yard is a good idea, im gonna have to find one nearby that might have some tcs.
And guys, i wasnt speeding, trust me, the space to make that turn is basically the width of my car.

Go to car-parts.com and look and your local salvage yards to buy the parts.
Again, good luck

I run Kuhmo Ecsta SPTs, and have for about 6000 miles of very hard driving, they never slide, the grip is amazing, im going to chalk it up to driver mistakes only, my Kuhmos are amazing and i would suggest them to everyone!!!

I don't know about axle damage, can't tell, but you'll definetly have some control arm damage, possible tie rod, probable strut as well. I got hit right in that front wheel at about 40mph and it cost a pretty penny to fix, hopefully yours will be cheaper, it should be because it looks a lot better than mine did. Good Luck man
