So I was on my way to work this mornin and this bitch in a saturn runs the stop sign and bam** hits me. About a basketball sized dent in the front fender and it broke my steering control arm thing that connects to the drivers side wheel...anybody know if that is expensive to replace????It snapped it right in half, I think it connects to the transmission??Grrrr klsddskhlg!!!! I just finished everything and this shit happens but it was her fault though she got a ticket. Ill post up some pics later.

Sorry to hear about that, but I'm hoping that you have all her information and that you have insurance. It should take care of any repairs, so no money out of your pocket.

Well if it was her fault, I wouldn't worry about it. If she has insurance, you'll be paid.

sounds like you cv axle that broke i recently replaced mine it costed like a little over 100, but i also have a 1g n/t

[Turbodog97]

Im just glad that I didn't get substantially hurt. My 4 point harness really saved my life. And it's time to upgrade some stuff while shes under the knife Im just praying that nothing esle got damaged besides that cv axle.

I could e-mail or PM you a quote for repair that will be similiar if not identical at most shops. This would give you general idea of how much damage you have in $$$.

[Turbodog97]

hey ya that would be awesome, i think the drivers door, drivers fender and cv axle needs to be replaced. Im just hopin the insurance doesnt say its "totaled" my email is [email protected] thanks a lot for the help and support

[drdisque]

you're lucky you didn't roll over, that same 4 pt harness could've easily ended your life without a roll cage.

sorry off topic where in austin do you live?

[MoozillaGSX]

Oh no thats my name man. i live in California, soon to move to Oregon.

(sorry for being of topic )

[Turbodog97]

okay just checked out everything down at the shop and it turns out it is the whole rack and pinin(however you spell that) setup that was busted. I knew something was up when the steering wheel would spin freely Has anybody every replaced one of those before?? It's looking like for the time being Im going to have to pay out of pocket until I get the money from the insurance, this might have to be resolved in small claims court Oh well...but anyways the shop is trying to charge me a busting 750 for complete everything(parts,labor,etc.) and thats kindof pricey for me...Does this sound reasonable at all??? Thans again.

If he is not using a harness bar or a roll cage/bar, by getting in an accident and wearing a harness you have a chance of breaking your back. It pulls your sholders down but your ass is still in the seat and doesnt move so it arches your back majorly to the point were it is close to snapping. If you get pulled over wearing a harness in any state without a harness bar or cage you will get ticketed if the cop notices. Pretty hefty fine too. Just for future reference.

sounds painful lol. i was just woundering cause i kindal iek my stock seatbelts, is it ever gona be nesesary to change my belts??

IMO it's not wise to mess with any safety equipment in a daily driver vehicle. All the equipment has been tested and passed standard safety test's. If your safety equipment fails, the manufacturer would be responsible, but if it has been modified, I think the rest is just common sence. The exception to this would be if you are proffesionaly racing your vehicle on a track and must install extra safety equip.
