Wrecked my car, possible costs?

Posted at: 2015-01-07 
You probably bent several suspension components. Body shop estimates will fall into a relatively narrow range for similar grade parts. Labor rates will vary somewhat between shops. Some will cut you a break if your paying for it yourself without any insurance involvement. I wouldn't be surprised by any estimate between $1-3K.

yeah this isnt an axle issue.. you bent an arm or tie rod. most likely a tie rod. depending on the damage a slight push back is one thing but if the tire is hugely noticeable you may have damaged everything. From the make of the car and if you live in the states an Audi is going to cost some bucks to repair if there is as much damage as you say.. It may seem like a little but you may have bent the entire steering control worst case. either way expect a few hundred from a shop or more..

Get measuremjents at a shop with a capability for bench set and measure.

After they check for short on one side they can check for diamond.

The bent parts will be obvious by comparison side to side.

But what they connect to at the cradle may need repair or replacing.

I-car certified shops have the equipment and train their guys.

Some have a laser rack and can give very intelligent

evidence and show proof.

They usually begin the repair when they receive the ok and the payment.

It is futile, inane and just impossible to ask people online as to car repairs. First of all, the vehicle is an Audi A4 as names of brands and of models of cars must be capitalized. How old are you, anyway? Second of all, that is why people have auto insurance for, to pay for the damages due to an accident. You mention nothing as to insurance. Lastly, no matter what anyone says here it is a mechanic who shall have to make an analysis and determine what is in need of repair and it is this person who shall present to you the estimate. No one else can, not should not try to guess other than to tell this. Notify the insurance company of what happened, start there. The car has to be towed to a repair shop. End of story. What others have or have not said does not apply.

If you had listed the year, make and model of the car or truck we could have listed which front suspension parts are bent or broken. The front half-shafts (drive axles) have nothing to do with your problem. Without a doubt your lower front A-frame (which locates the front wheel) will need to be replaced.

Dittos to others . . . . . will cost plenty, even if damage is confined to suspension, steering and axle - - - more if it has also damaged transmission/axle assembly. If - as you say - there is no damage, repairs should not be made at a body shop . . . . I would take it to an Audi dealer only.

Pretty much i commute to/from work so i can sleep on the way. I had to drive out to get things. Getting home at night from work i found myself falling asleep and road a damn curb by my house.

My front driver side wheel pushed back. It didnt dent anything but its clearly out of place and will tear the car if i drive forward.

I believe its my axle and hoping not too much other damage.

I got it checked for electrical and everything is good.

Around how much would it cost for a shop to fix the axle and possibly more?

Audi a4 b7

Thank you

just steal another , and its off no cost, can i advice if you was drunk driving at the time, to consider VP sherry next time its the drink that causes dangers on the road, if you aint pi*sed in the right way, you will not only hit 5 year old child that is trying to brake into a car, you may also hit a police motorcyclist that is chasing a Poundland thief at 164mph? just roll your wife down the embankment at the side of the road, police will think a nutter killed her.

the rim is where i would start. it is the cheapest part too. an axle can be bent but you would really feel that at low speeds and higher would intensify that sensation. you might try taking it in to have the wheels ballanced and have then test for that issue.

well your axle could have sustained some damage but it sounds like the real problem is you bent one or more of your control arms. your car has 2 upper control arms and 2 lower arms
