I F-ed up my alignment!

[r0csfinest]

Stupid snow in MD made me slid right into the curb. How much does it cost to fix it?

[JDoggery]

depends on what is damaged or broken. an alignment can cost anywhere from around 60-100 depending on where you go. you can also damage your control arms or rip the bushings which can also be costly, or damage other suspension components as well. which wheel or wheels hit the curb, is there any visable damage that you can see. how much do you have to turn the wheel to track straight.

[r0csfinest]

Well... I was maybe going about 10 mph or less when I hit the curb. I hit the right side. There is NO visible damage. I have to turn the steering wheel just a lil bit to the left to get it straight. It's not that serious.

I have never killed my alignment without treaking something else, Ive lost 2 lower control arms (one in my 201 one in my 202) damn speedin in the rain, I will always avoid an accident even if it hurts my car...

how much did repair cost? i dont think my damage is going to be that bad because i was going really slow leaving my neighborhood

[RacerXofFL]

Im pretty sure it was sub 200$ But if I were going to do an alingment today, Id buy these:

I think I will when I get my camber links anyway... I couldnt find these when I built my car up, I even have the eibach (sp?) roll bar, but stock bushings...

as everyone said, it depends on damage to the suspension components.
you still may have bent a spindle, control arm, drag link assembly- tie rod end.

[r0csfinest]

Well guys.... I had it checked out today and they said it was gonna cost $2,400 to fix. They said the spindle, control arm and other things were broken. Is there anyway I can buy these parts myself? Because $2,400 is way to much for me. :(

Anyone know where I can get these following parts?

Spindle Assembly
Toe Link
Lower Control Arm
Upper Control Arm
Thrust Link
Right Rear Wheel Charrier and set of Arms

Man i had the exact same thing happen, im in the same boat as you. Except mine is seriously screwed up.. Frame is bent, couplers ruint, lots of things. Frame hopefully can be bent back, if not theyll have to weld and if so im going to be pissed and just sell it and look for another 95-97.
