Car hit a curb....

Often times when a vehicle slides into a curb, the wheel bearings are damaged. This does not appear immediately so once repaired if you hear some noise (or leaking from the rear axle) it very well could be the wheel bearing(s) that was damaged.

Ok, I will ask the mechanic about this. Do you have any idea if this is a costly repair

You are looking at a lot more than a few grand. This car doesnt just let you fix it. Everything that is damaged needs replaced and its all part of the unibody. A truck hit my z on friday. It was parked and just the quarter panel. $3200. No wheel damage either. Its hard to tell but the gas door is crushed and her azz is flat lol. Along with that white is a bitch to paint match.
