As title.

Hit a curb at maybe 20 mph a few weeks ago when it was snowing, didn't notice anything visual except the bumper and a bunch of curb rash on the wheel, but when you cranked it all the way to the right, the wheels didn't want to come back to centre. Plus, a little pull to the right on the highway.

Anyway, took it in for an inspection, and as soon as it was up on a lift you could see the front right wheel was shoved back a couple inches... oops.

So the front right wheel is getting a new control arm, transverse link, bushings, and a wheel bearing, and the mechanic quoted me $1400 for parts and labour. Plus side, it should be done by tomorrow afternoon. Downside, tomorrow afternoon my bank account will be getting a good reaming.
