SO I have an 06 mustang v-6 with a pony package and other mods but thats not the point now I was parked tonight at a friends house I had never been too before, when i went to leave there was a hydrent in front of my car like a foot away from the curb that i could not see so at i went to leave i hit it but i could not have been more than 3-5 feet away from it so it cracked my bumper and nocked out my turn signal niether major issues, but it also appears to have screwed up my passenger side tire it seems it pushed it back about 2-3 inches so i had to put my donut on to drivbe home and it is pulling REALLY hard to the right so I am hopeing that it some how just managed to knock out my alignment cause I was not going more than 5 mph I cant imagine it really did that much damage but i am broke and really stessing the bill to fix is it possible i am right and it just knocked it that far out of alignment or does it sound like something more? I mean i looked and could not see anything bent or out of place PLEASE HELP -thanks

 

Definitely more, alignment would not push the wheel back, there is no caster adjustments for these cars from factory. My guess, bent lower control arm.(maybe even strut) check classified or new car take off maybe. But take it to a shop to inspect. You might even be able to crawl under and see something yourself, 2-3" is a lot not to miss something bent.

 

thanks any idea on the cost to fix that?

 

somewhat of an idea.
a New motorcraft lower control arm and mitchell on demand labor at
Left and right are very different in parts price

Left LCA Part # MCSOE47 OE# 7R3Z3078A List 210.98 .9 hour labor
Right LCA Part # MCSOE46 OE# 7R3Z3079A List 361.78 .9 hour laborPlus alignment.

 

you need to find out if you bent anything or if you just set your alignment off. go from there. i'd check for any bent,broken,loose components.
