Accident to my rear left wheel.
 

Hi,

I just had an accident the other day and was wondering if anyone can help me point out what is broken and what needs to be replaced.

From the looks of it, i'm guessing the rear camber arm, rear toe arm and rear endlinks are broken?
Correct me if i'm wrong.

Here are some pictures:

Thanks.

looks like the rear traction rod and the endlink.

(the toe arm is actually your spring 'bucket')

Wow that’s crazy. What is the root cause of this mishap.

Yup to all of your assumptions. Looks like all three are definitely broken. Hopefully the mounting points maintained stock geometry/weren't damaged. You'll be lucky if all you need is to replace those parts and then have the car realigned. Good luck!!

+1. and i would also be worried about the wheel bearing, axle, and all the parts you can't see as well.

The rear subframe is likely bent

If you slid into a curb you might be ok. Those parts are designed to fail to protect the chassis. Hopefully the axle is ok too.

VDC off?

someone left a shirt in the middle of the freeway, it made me swerved and hit into a curb.
This was in the middle of the night and raining during the time.

The impact was so strong that the left airbags deployed.

VDC was off during the time too.

raining and on the interstate... why in the world would you have VDC off? Glad thats all the damage that occurred...

Fix car, then unplug VDC button.

unless its taller than your front bumper, run over that bish. Most times you find that you will actually do less damage that way... had i swerved below, I prolly die :icon14:

Good vid.

I agree. Better the cat than you kicking the bucket. Cat got extra lives anyway.

OP sorry about the accident. Glad you're ok. Sure it is covered by your insurance and should be good as new. There's more to it than the photo you showed so let the shop figure it out. Lot's to inspect before final work can be done. Good luck.
