I got T-boned last night. I got hit with a 06 chevy trailblazer....yeah its bad for me, he walked away with a broken front bumper. well my car is really really bad. My front left wheel looks like its gonna fall off; its tillted and its wobbling like crazyyy. The front right fender is going to have to get replaced, and the passenger door might need to be replaced. I need to figure out whats wrong with the wheel and how much everything might cost me so I dont ripped off by the mechanic. So please any help is going to help me here. thanks.
 
If it's just hanging there, there are probably some tie rods and/or control arm broken. Basically, just look under there, and if anything looks out of place or broken, take a picture of it. Post the pictures up on here and we can help you further.

Hope you're feeling ok, that really sucks.
 
Check ALL the suspension components....upper and lower control arm, lateral arm, knuckle, wheel bearing hub, tie rod end, sway bar end link, shock....and also check the attachment points and the sub frame as mentioned. If you had to replace the above named with new parts, expect to pay around $550-$700 for parts alone - one side, labor is extra. Of course you might find a few parts used from someone that got "boned" from the back.

Ask me how I know.......

But yes, give us pictures and we might be able to judge better.
 
Were you to blame or him, cause if its him his insurance should pay then who cares if the mechanic rips you off its not coming out of your pocket
