Well 2 make a long story short.

I hit the curb (being a dumb ass) Now my wheels are on the gangsta lean.

They both are facing inwards towards each other.

I was told that I cracked the rack and pinion bar.

Is this fixable by myself or will I need to get it done @ a shop?

If I can't do it myself I will be selling the car (I don't have the money to pay labor fees) so any input will be helpful.

its possible with a couple friends, jack stands and some knowledge of suspension and steering components

i would get an exact list on stuff you broke and go from there

and i don't think it would be worth it to sell it in that condition

To replace the rack you have to take off the entire front subframe. You can do this yourself if you know your stuff, but you'll need a 3 bar engine mount to hold up your engine and trans while the subframe's off. Bottom line, just make sure you know what you're getting yourself into, and make sure you have the right tools to do it. Goodluck

Wow. Considering I got the car for free I think I may keep the engine, it is nice, and sell the rest for parts or something.

Thanks for all your help.
