car crash, wheel bent
I put this on General Tech because it can probably be applied to all the Mustangs.
I have a 2004 Mach1... it was wet ouside, and i put traction control off because i was at a large empty avenue making some quick launches... as i was heading back home, i make a sharp turn and put some gas, not thinking....
i know it was a terrible mistake, feel free to flame me on it, im inexperienced....
anyways, i lost complete control of the car, it spun, and the rear wheel slammed into the curb... i put it on first gear, gas it, nothing... i get out of the car to see the wheel has been completly bent from under....
the auto shop said $6000....
any reason why so expensive? what do you think is the specific of what happened?
thank you

I had a similar incident. the cost isnt from the wheel, its from replacing the axle shaft straightening the axle tube and replaceing the caliper mount. At least thats what got bent when I tagged a curb.

just go to a junk yard pull and axle and drop it in, all you really need to do is hook up the upper/lower control arms, driveshaft, and brake lines, bleed brakes and e brake.... pretty much all it is and you should be able to get one for 300$
