So tonight heading to the store i was driving down 5600 west, when someone decided to merge into my lane i swerved left right as a median was coming up.

My driver side drove up and off of the median landing hard on the front wheel, all i could hear is my front tire rubbing and smoke was pouring from my wheel well, and my steering wheel is crooked about 90°

I got it home jacked it up pulled the wheel off, tire is toast, start looking to see what is broken and all i can see is that the base of my strut is bent in towards the engine bay, hopefully this is all the damage but i wont know for sure until tomorrow morning..

Im wondering if anyone has a stock strut in good condition i could buy off of them, if not ill have to try orieley. Please let me know if you have anything, and if maybe you would like to come by and see if you can see any further damage that i cannot see....here are the only pics i got in the dark...

Wow that sucks. Whats your city/state and have you looked at the top of the strut tower in the engine bay?

EDIT: Might be time to consider posting up a WTB in the fs threads and pm'ing a mod to change the title to show what you are looking for! Good luck!

Do you have any idea how much a rebuild would be?

I've got my set from my wagon. Pulled at 90K. I'd replace them in pairs, if I were in your shoes.

I have no idea what a used set goes for. And I'm not sure wagon rears are the same as sedan???

I want dibs on them in the spring once you get coils. For some reason I'm afraid to not have some sort of backup if my BC coils go down. Send me a PM with an offer for what you think they're worth.

Its all back together and drives smooth, i dont hear or feel anything out of the ordinary other then the difference with my spare tire on.. alignment wise, my steering wheel is straight again, and it pulls slightly to the right, which it has done that since i installed my lowering springs..so coming spring ill be purchasing wheels, coils, new front and rear sways, end links, and hopefully control arms....i am considering myself lucky that there was not more damage then there could have been...for now anyways..
