Default Soo yea i spun out and hit the median.....

so it was a rainy friday night and I was exiting the highway and my car decided to drift on me....



yes the car is facing oncoming traffic on the median and was heading they way traffic was coming to me .

my car jumped the median and landed just like that ....its a long story and yes that's the rear passenger side tire under the car.

So i'm guessing a new axle is needed and the rims are bent.....


but should i just replace both axles? as well?

If anything you should get your alignment checked. I think your left axle should be fine. But it doesn't hurt to check. Also look under the car for any bend or damaged suspension parts

The suspension mounting points in these cars are not very strong. I'm guessing there got moved.

A good frame shop should be able to reference the frame holes for you.
