Bummer - how'd that happen?
I'm not a suspension specialist - hard to tell anything from pics other than the wheels are obviously out of alignment. A mechanic should easily be able to give you specifics on what's gotten bent and cost to replace. Id source parts myself online and I'd take the opportunity to replace all the OEM bushings front and back since they will probably need to take apart the suspension...

thanks for your response. It was wet and the turn was almost a 80-90 degree angle. Honestly it happened too fast, i was going about 20 km/hr and after it happened i reversed out of the curb and drove home in shame. thankfully didnt hit anyone or anything so body is still good. Do you have an idea for the worst case scenario how much this all would cost?

I mean depending on how many control arms you bent I would say 500-1000 unfortunately, plus whatever a wheel costs if its bent and the tire itself may be damage. Prolly should just use insurance unless you can fix this stuff yourself.

I cant use insurance because of my previous driving record (no accidents or speeding tickets) and was unable to get full coverage so I only have liability. If it is going to be 500-1000, I estimated it to be more than that around 2k, So i guess things are not looking too bad.

A couple grand worst case is a decent ballpark.

I'll be the optimist and say probably only a few hundred. You can get aftermarket control arms fairly cheap. I did the same a couple years ago, $70 for a rear tie rod and $150 for a rear hub plus an alignment and it was back like new.

Maybe I over paid a bit but a few months ago just an alignment cost me $200. I doubt after smoking a curb with damaged wheels and suspension components it will be "a few hundred"... but I'm rooting for you!
