Just had a minor accident - suspension damage?

Here is an update for you guys. Unfortunately, it's not great news and the list of parts that will need to be replaced is pretty long: 1. Lower control arm

Here is an update for you guys. Unfortunately, it's not great news and the list of parts that will need to be replaced is pretty long:

1. Lower control arm
2. Upper control arm
3. Front spindle (knuckle)
4. Wheel bearing
5. Inner tie rods on both sides
6. Outer tie rod ends on both sides
7. Front fender (the mounting bracket is damaged)

In addition to that my headlight is slightly damaged - one of the mounts is broken and the housing cracked open. However, it should be possible to save the headlight.

The headlight assembly bracket is also damaged, but should be fixable as well.

Finally, the front bumper needs to be fixed and resprayed.

I'm looking at a total bill of almost $4000 including parts, labour and fender + bumper respray. Assuming that nothing else pops up.

Sorry to hear that the damage isn't minimal.

Nope, unfortunately not. I was at fault and I only have liability insurance (stupid, I know).
