Default Banged up :(

I just got my car out of the shop, E-test passed... sounds like it got a vasectomy after the 3" cat was installed. Anyway to the point I hit some ice same day and my back end went into a curb.

Here's some pictures for your pain and enjoyment:

Check out how close the clearance was, he ended up putting it back down and adding some more ramps, thank goodness.

They said it was the control arm and something else, this guys really helped me out with my e-test and is reliable... works on muscle cars for over 20 years as well so he's trying to cut me a deal.

Ouch. Doesn't look too bad, or like it got any of the body, which is good.

Be thankful the control arm is all that was damaged Justin. That's an easy quick fix.
Sorry to see that happened.

Hi `Jus'tin,
Sorry 2 read your post & what happened to your S.S.
Life really seems to be a test to see what we can endure 4-Sure.
It's great that you found a person that can make the repairs & get your Monte back on the road again (@ a cost $)...Yes, it could've been so much worse 4-Real....It's better your Monte goes to the repair shop, then for you to go to the hospital after this incident.

Keep us updated & we wish you a safer journey on your highways of life...

Looks like it should be a farily easy repair. Hopefully it wont be too hard on the wallet. My son took his car in for an alignment the other day and they told him he needed a ball joint befor they could do it. They were only gonna charge him 150 to change it.
