I'd like to start off by saying I wasn't drifting or being an idiot.

I'm looking to get a car that had been ran into a curb and just assessing the damage and what people have expierenced in the past.

Basically the front driver side suspension is out of whack. So much that it has a good amount of positive camber. What is usually the first thing to bend or break?

I'm guessing probably a control arm and a tie rod is mangled, but are there any other miscellaneous items I'm missing? I don't think the steering rack is torn up, as I'm guessing it takes a pretty big force to knock that out of whack. This is a S14 and just wondering how much you guys spent fixing it. Thanks for the input!

LCA and tie rod for certain, maybe the crossmember if it was a hard enough hit. Only way to really tell is to get under it, you'll see wear around the nuts that secure the crossmember if it's moved at all.

I'm in Smyrna, I could inspect it with you if you'd like.
