I hit the curb going pretty fast(20-40mph). I hit my right front wheel at about a 30 degree angle to the curb and now something is bent. I think I have a bent shoulder or something. I can still drive it, bit I have to hold the wheel to the right or else it goes left. the wheel looks bent downward and a little forwards by about 20 degrees. I was wondering the price range for fixing this sort of thing.

I'll try and post a picture later.

Hi there,

you will have to get a panel shop to inspect the strut tower as it may be bent, as for cost this will be unknown until the extent of the damage is known, there is a lot that can bend so an inspection is required.
