Well right now i am fvckin depressed, i havent even made a dent in the payments for my new audi and its already screwed up, this time mother nature was the enemy, coming home after working late i hit some black ice about turing onto my street,i was going maybe 20mph and hit a curb, a big look at me curb, i got out but it fine but now my gauges aint working and the right front wheel is pushed into the fender, i managed to limp home but i dont know what the hell is wrong any ideas, anyone,

 

Damn, hopefully it would be ok!!!

 

Well if you're wheel is "pushed into the fender" you're going to have some issues there... control arms, cv joints, likely a new shock... if you're not able to tear it apart yourself, best get it to a mechanic that you trust. Hitting a curb isn't usually the end of the world... so you'll be alright man! The guages not working... you mean like, none of them?

 

not working as in no speedo, no tach, no fuel, not temp, voltage, or oil temp. it still ights up, just nothing moves, possibly a blown fuse. i didnt hit the curb hard but it was failry high compared to most run of the mill curbs.,

 

Bummer, man.
When you check the suspension, be sure and check on step further. A good 4-wheel computerized alignment after all the bent stuff has been replaced should tell you if the unibody is still in spec.

 

That sux man. CV joints, control arms, steering knuckle, hub, even brakes could be damaged. Just make sure you take it to a few different places and get estimates of what's broken before you start fixin'. No two places will be the exact same.

 

Your insurance must be around a gazillion dollars a year. Or do you just not have any?

 

nope no insurance, dad thinks i dont need it because its an older car, i cant wait to get on my own insurance, i did take off the wheel last night and it didnt look too bad, it looks like te lower control arms and tie rod, and possible the upper control arms since the wheel is pushed back and bent down. anyone wanna send me a few good pics of their front right wheel well. also anyone have a clue as to my gauge problem.

 

If you're making payments on the car doesn't your lender require insurance?

 

Isnt it illegal to drive without insurance?
