Default broke FR strut from hitting curb! Walk thorugh?

Anyone know where I can find a walk through on how to fix the passenger side strut? I hit a damn curb and it sticks out under the hood a bit now. Rattles when I hit bumps. I'd like to repair it myself if it's not too hard. I know I'm going to need an alignment. Please help...

The strut broke through the C&C plates? did you have aftermarket ones or stock? If thats what happened I would look into maximum motorsports caster camber plates... they are very strong and patented

Nah, didn't break through the plates. It just popped it up a little bit.

I would check closely ot make sure its the strut that was damaged and not anything else, you don't want to be playing around with suspension stuff if something could be broken.

The install is super easy, bolt out and bolt back in.
