I did a big one once ....

I deliver chinese food, and sometimes I have to go out into the country for deliveries where there are no street lights. Last week I was turning around in a culdesac when my passenger back corner jumped up and I was like "What the ---- did I hit?!" I clipped the steel band that is on the corner of a sewer drain, you know, the metal things above the drain on the curb. Well, the ------- thing knicked my wheel pretty good and tore a chunk out of my tire. It held air, since only the outside rubber was taken off, but I wasn't going to risk a blowout so I changed the tire in almost total darkness. Long story short, be careful, bad things happen, and if they happen when you're out there with no phone service, it can be bad. Also my passenger front tire was a little underinflated because we had a massive cold snap. Well, I took a left turn kinda hard and it rolled the tire. Freaky ----. ---- cars.

That was the dumbest thing you ever said...do you have any idea what 15-20kph is? Its a honda, not like the car weighs 3 tonnes.

Anyway turned out to be a tie rod and control arm, got a new arm and the wheel is sitting perfectly, I just have to go get it aligned because the new tie rod isnt sitting properly.

I have seen a few bent at that speed if you hit it right. Post up your caster numbers/ setback after you get your alighnment, I hope there good but it wouldn't suprize me if its out. I also dont know the angle you hit the curb at, internet virtual car diagnostics can be tough as I am still trying to master it, btw I live in bc so I know what kph are

I ran over a curb at about ~60mph in my Civic 3 months after I bought it. Luckily the radiator support took most of the damage. It took out the radiator, A/C system, radiator support, front rims(they still held air), and something else was fucked up because I wasn't able to align it properly.

I was racing an Eclipse and decided it would be a good time to pass out. As I woke up I realized I was heading towards a house and not the road so I slammed on the brakes and slid over the curb and through the front yard of the house, missing a very large rock and the house. When the dust settled I wasn't sure if I was in the house or not.

Don't drink and drive kids.

Cray91

hah.

Just fixing my friends car b/c of that.

Hit a 12" curb head on in the fog. His windows were all fogged up too.

Bent the radius rods, fucked subframe, bent the frame a little. This was a 91 civic though.

Can't really say anything based on the diagram. Just gonna have to look. Could be as simple as one piece or as major as needing frame work.

your axel is probably busted.
