Re: Unforunate Snow Accident, PLEASE HELP.
Sorry to hear about your mishap. It's hard to diagnosis from your description and that picture, but I'll take a stab at it. The abs light is on because you no doubt destroyed the wheel/bearing/hub assembly. You can usually get one of those new for around $100. Your bigger problem is that MUST have bent the rear axle assembly. You can get those new for around $800. They should be available used for much cheaper. Add another $100 or so for miscellaneous parts and you are looking at about 1000 in parts if you can do it yourself. I have no idea what shops charge for things as I do everything myself, but I'd take a wild guess and say they'd charge you about 1600 if they use new parts and 1200 if they can find a cheap used axle assembly, and $1000 if an auto insurance company was paying the bill. Add $200 if you screwed up the aluminum wheel, which is a good bet. That's my somewhat educated guess. Let us know what it ends up costing you.
