[kiasephia1998man1980]

hey re: my 1998 sephia here,

as you all northeasterners know(maybee more who knows lol) weve had a big storm that has rolled in here in nj with snow and ice

speaking of that i ran into a little accident....i slid into a curb id say probobly about 5 mph no more and the entire right side wheel has physically been relocated to the rearside of the wheel well. now i can steer it with issues due to the tire rubbing but all else is fine. what all did i damage here i mean obviously the strut tower has probobly been bent and i need to replace that AGAIN(just did it in november) but is there any more damage? i havent checked fully yet but i dont want to go through alignment or everything again. any suggestions on what i need to get(all components suspectible to damage from impacts of the sort) tire is fine also that is odd im beginning to believe the "low build" rep. that kia has maybee if its the strut tower only or i can bend it back ill change my mind bc its a good little car lol

ball joint, control arm, tie bar, spring could be many things you bent!

thanks onefast

ok found the issue. apparently the dumbass mechanic had placed a low grade chrome bolt on the balljoint when i had him do the axle(hey it was 20 degrees not nice weather to replace axles in lol) when i bumped the curb it sheered that bolt off completely and balljoint is behind control arm my only issue now is how do i go abouts at moving it back to where it was since the existing secure nut is so seized its hard to get off(near impossible without burning it off) tried hammering on the metal part(base) any more suggestions so i can get this project back together lol
