I was fooling around last night, fishtailing down the street, and gunning it back and forth at 3 am.

Unfortunately, I hit the curb head on at about 60 mph. Now I have this vibration everytime I go over 45 mph. Sucks


What's bent? Anyone with similar problem?

Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely.
A.Youth.You goofed,you faced up to it,move on
B.You need to get it on a lift and examine the underside.
C.Don't drive it until you do.
D.Look for bent control arms,torn suspension bushings,,inspect oil pan,transmission,Everything back past the point of impact.
E.Bent rims are the most likely victim of the hit and run
F.Most of us have been there

You must have kerm.

The control arm is designed to absorb the energy of the impact to keep the car from going over the curb. so i'm almost positive that it is bent. if you're lucky you didn't twist the frame but i wouldn't worry about that too much as long as you can get the wheels aligned it won't matter. I would check the shock too just to be sure it is not bent. If you're a DIYer it is not that hard to swap out the control arm with a new one. I wouldn't bother looking for a used one as they go for about the same as the new ones unless you can find a good deal on one.
are you thinking of getting it covered by the insurance? if so the one thing they do is quote it with used parts and if they do pay attention to the prices and compare them with new. alot of times you'll end up with better pricing on new parts.
Good luck and don't spill kerms.

I was thinking it was the control arm as well.

Damn, just changed those *******s and got it aligned. Oh well, at least I'm not in jail. Another weekend down the drain.

Prost!

I take it you're not persian since you didn't get my kerm joke. or maybe you didn't find it funny.

I wonder if the control arm can be repaired if the damage is not too bad.

If you hit a curb at 60 and the wheel still turns at all, you are lucky. I've seen them fold up like matchbooks at half that speed.

I think he needs AAA not AA...

I had a good friend when I was in the Navy during the Vietnam war and he always said that.The loose translation into English always made me smile.
Now speaking Thai or Chinese that is a different issue.I caught onto the need to pick up a few more words of those languages once i got a look at all the young beauties over thereOh to be 19 again and let go on liberty call in Hong Kong

Despite hearing this for years I just tried to visualize it... having a hard time at the "barq as koonet bepareh" part.
