Sunday moring i was driving into work (canadian tire), after a snowfall of about 4 inches. anyways as i was turing into the parking lot, i started sliding and hit the curb on the other side of the entrance. the parking lot was plowed but there was still a layer of slushy snow about a 1/4 inch deep. i was probly travelling a little too fast for the turn. especially since my tires have very little tread left. (i was planning on buying tires this weekend. after the hit, i could not drive the car cause the front driver side wheel was against the fender wall. so i had to call a tow truck to tow it across the lot and into the garage. thank god for CAA.
Damage:
Control arm buckled
tie rod bent
tie rod end
and the stabilizer end link
rim "rashed" pretty bad, but as of now not known whether it is bent or not.
these are pics i took today since they moved the wheel enough to give it clearence to roll. it was probly about another inch back then in the pics
