Default I think i blew it

I had 3 people in my roadster( me and 2 chicks).. I hit a huge pot-hole and i thought my car lost its rims... Anyway after i dropped the girls home, i felt my front end was very loose, and like a ticking noise...anyone know wat it could possible be, i think it might be control arms,.. Any suggestions??

Tell the girls to lose weight next time they want a ride.

could be a control arm... take the car and do some really tight 360's ....do it both ways if you hear something making a pop noise you got something bad... get it on a hoist though and take a look underneath

Check your oil... that ticking noise could mean you nailed your oil system somewhere.

I've seen an oil filter taken out like that... the results are sitting in my backyard.

can easily be anything from suspension parts or even a busted axle. Only one way to find out..... looking.

Could be as simple as a snapped spring (in which case you won't want to be driving the car anyway), happened to me when I hit a nasty pot hole.
