so i was taking a turn a few days ago , going approximately 25 mph, maybe a bit slower, traction control on, and the car completely let go , and slid 180 and straight into a curb, bent the wheel in , managed to limp her a mile to the nearest trusted mechanic, visually bent two control arms or camber arms i cant figure out the name, they straightened out the arms well enough to drive on, but now shes sitting higher on one side, (the side hit) and it seems the shock is completely seized as it wont really move up and down very much, the other side seems fine though is also riding slightly higher, im trying to figure out a few things... should i look into replacing a few parts , the bent arms and shocks of course, or should i replace the whole rear end as there is one available for 600, replacing pieces is cheaper but i want to make sure she will drive like new, what should i do? i also need help identifying parts. i will post photos in a moment. also the brake malfunction lights came on in the incident but have turned them selves but today i noticed the rear step out when i braked hard and one of the wheels lock up, maybe both rear, what should i be looking at to fix this? front abs is fine, the rear is having the issue, there are no codes logged either . any help please guys?

thoughts?

 

at $488 I'd advise going with the complete assembly and a replacement wheel.
Those el-cheapo Monroes look OK as long as you are not going racing.

BTW, the 9006 HIDS are doing fine, not sure of the price you are asking for them, but I would recommend them
as long as mounting brackets and a notification regarding the polarity is included.

 

You say the cause was a bad strut?
I'd say the cause was bad tires, get a new set while you are at it. You're lucky you hit a curb rather than another car.

 

Make sure the "complete assembly" includes all the parts you need. It's your best option because the link mounting points may be bent. Get an estimate on the installation while your at it so it doesn't' take you by surprise.

so its beginning to seem as if the rear assembly is best... the interesting part is it looks to be as if the rods are designed to bend in the event of a crash to prevent the damage of any other parts. but i dont want to risk anything at this point. ill pay 600 to make sure its done right i suppose. i thought the tires were fine. this is what discount tire had told me very recently that they were good for at least another few thousand miles before i should consider looking into replacing them . we do think it was a bad shock since one side was a bit more rigid than the other not as bad as now, but it seemed to be, but i was also told it was nothing to worry about immediately, i ordered kyb shocks , hopefully these should be pretty good. i was considering doing these

but i am not sure on fitment or if my mounting points are bent , suspension is such a finicky thing there's no reason to skimp on it i suppose.

 

the only reason im trying to go with a safe inexpensive route is well, im personally a bit tight at the moment , so as you can imagine if i can spend 80 dollars on new links that would be great... unless you guys want to start chipping in maybe i can trade you guys for some lights haha
