Exclamation Frame damage so badly

Well, somebody help me plz...

Here is the problem....

My car is 96 Eclipse GS. When I drive the car, front wheel rattles so much.

So I went to mechanic shop to check it out... they lifted my car up and saw the whole frame of bottom left front wheel was ripped apart.

I asked him how much it would cost to fix it, and he said approximately $1500~!! damn it....

Do you guys think it's possible to fix my car? Is it safe to drive even when it's fixed?

The reason I'm asking this is because I don't think it's safe to drive the car even after they fix it.

Re: Frame damage so badly

They are giving you an estimate to pull the frame...why the frame is bent you should know...it isnt something that just happens...it was obviously in an accident. Yes It will be 100% safe to drive, it is done everyday to cars. If it wasnt safe, they wouldnt to it.

did you get it at a used car lot recently? if so I would get a lawyer on the phone pronto. While there may not be much he can do, dealerships tend to bend a little more when the words LEMON LAW come in to play. I bought a camaro recently, went to get it aligned like 2 months later, and got the bad news that the sub frame was bent to hell, and the lower ball joint wasn't pressed in all the way. I called my lawyer, and the next day I dropped off the turd camaro off and rolled out in a cherry, gsx
(I already own a gs and rs/t, so why not), I could have got it fixed but when you just get a car and something like this happens, you tend to over react.
If this is not your case, it is safe to fix but not for the weak of heart.
just make sure you get a bad ass alighnment shop to do it. And have someone else double check their work. good luck
