Personal experience time: I didn't hit a curb, but I did hit a concrete freeway divider after sliding through some deep water. No body damage but the wheel took all the force. I had to replace the spindle, lower control arm, lower ball joint, cv knuckle, bearing housing (it was completely locked), and had to get new camber kits and a realign.

Sum up: a lot of parts equaling almost a grand and a lot of work. Just thankful i didn't lose the rim.

thanks guys......appreciate the help

im still lookin for that front wheel assembly diagram i saw here, any one have it?
u could try a junk yard. They have everything for cheap. Also try searching for what you need on ebay. But it looks like ur in maybe over 1000. Not syre by how much but definaltey over 1000. Could be more or less depending if you get anything form a junkyard or not.
