I appreciate the thought, but I'm rolling 18's anyways. I just went out and looked how the rear end is setting: not well, not well at all. The entire rear end has shifted to the right I'd say an inch. Can't tell if the tie rods or strut or A arm is bent or not. All I know is the car is ****ed. Hopefully I don't run into complications driving it to the shop tomorrow, or slam my head on the steering wheel to death thinking about the damage I did. You guys know what I'm talking about, my car is an extension of myself and when it's not right I'm not right.

Squeak in frt or rear? If rear, squeak could easily be a bent axle causing wheel and rotor to wobble.

If the rear is shifted to right side an inch you likely have a bent pan hard bar or PHB bracket at frame or axle.

Looks like it was moving pretty good when you hit.

Sucks but it's **** that can be fixed. I had a friend that curbed his front passenger on his crossfire. He never checked his air pressure in his tires. So when he remove the rim it had all kinds of damage on the inside. So he bought an aftermarket rim which was chrome. Reason being the stock rims were over 300. I never cared much fir the car. I think they r very girly machines. He now drives a gto which again I think that car is girly looking. I fact I was very disappointed in the exterior. It's a 400 hp sun fire.

Anyways good luck

Goods new/bad news. Good new is the only things messed up are a bowed in panhard bar, axle, the rims and one tire (it's not leaking air but I don't want the thing to explode on me). Bad news is apart from the panhard bar those items are pretty expensive. I have a couple rear tires I could possibly put on there, only thing is they're racing slicks, and pretty spent ones. I'm going to call my insurance agent and see if there's anything I can do to make a claim and not have my rates go up. My estimation is the total repair is going to come out to about a grand.

I hit a few curbs pretty hard when I first got mine, amazed I never ****ed it up really bad. The turning on these cars can be unpredictable you think your going to clear in then bam cub jumps right on ya.

Update: Insurance company wants me to pay a fee because I'm at fault, and the deductible included it comes out at over a grand, so I'm not going that route. In other news, got suspended from my job today for a month due to an error on my boss's part. Two months ago they sent me an email to come in at 8, so I did and when I got there they told me I should've been there at seven and made several snarky comments on how no one else showed up late; this sparked an argument.
About two and a half weeks ago I used the skid pad at work while I was off the clock, a security guard heard me doing it and got his ******* twisted over the ordeal and produced some fiction about things I didn't say and didn't do. The HR department said this looked bad because McLaren was at the track that day, but as a matter of fact on that same day the man in charge of McLaren's event said I had been a great help to them that day and let me take hot laps in the MP4-12C.

Sorry to spill my problems all over the thread, but as you can see I'm having a very, very, very stressful November.

My plans with the car as of now are to slap on some Alloy axles and swap out the stock panhard bar just so I can get the thing safely rolling. As for the rims, and rear tire, I'll have to fix the eyesore and deal with them being bent until I can swap to new ones. If only I could afford to buy some 5 spoke Vossens right now...

id take it somewhere and get the suspension components & brakes checked out. just for piece of mind

Yeah I did, I took it to a guy who specializes in Mustangs, he has a competition drag car and several other Mustangs. when we got it on the lift everything on the brakes was fine, the sway bars are scooted over but once the panhard bar is replaced they should slide back into place. Tie rods, LCAs and everything else were solid.

Man sorry to hear about your ruff start into the holiday months but just stay positive and things usually tend to work themselves out.

I know your pain...
If you look, you can see how the pan hard bar is nowhere close to straight.

I had the same squeaking that went away when I applied the brakes. Bent axle.
