was cut off...ran up curb

[MHalloran]

This past saturday a guy pulling trailer cut into my lane, forced me off the road & I struck a curb#@$%!..... front suspension wrecked, left front fender & bumper ruined too. Its still at the tow yard & am going Friday to get a better look at the damage. A quick inspection at the scene told me : tie rods & related pieces bent/ broke, shock tower cracked & now front axle is pointing down slightly with a leaking left akle seal. Left wheel pushed back about an inch or so in the wheel well. (have no collision coverage either... ouch:{) Sound fixable?? I still love my truck & am determined to fix it myself or get a price to have it fixed!!! Are there just u-bolts to loosen to get the axle turned back for starters? i cant picture it in my head... & then i know there will be quite a bit more! It's killin' me! The engine has years of life left... 215K miles. I refuse to part it out... I want to fix it!! Any thoughts appreciated... ... Mike:{

It all depends on the frame damage. Everything else is available.

if the wheel is pushed back in the wheel well I suspect that the trailing arm mounts/frame has been damaged.

axle housing is very likely tweaked to by the sounds of it. First thing is to get frame checked out.
