so i had a wreck today in my 4runner. i will try and post pics later whenever i can find my camera cord, but my front driver side tire/wheel is pushed at angle. i was wondering how much money it will cost to fix/replace? also how to tell if the truck is totaled? sorry about the no pics right now. i know they would help.

 

Sorry to hear about that. What exactly happened (it will help others imagine what kind of damage there is, without pics and all)? Make sure the frame isn't bent or creased. Check all places where the wheel is attached to. What year etc.. is your 4runner?

 

sorry about the wreck....I had one in my first 2nd gen and it seemed fine but the frame was bent and it totaled it. It just depends. And for price pics would be needed to see what's going on under there.

 

i pulled out in front of someone and was hit in the drivers side tire area. 1999 4runner 3.4 v6

 

sorry to hear about your rig, but I'm glad YOU are ok.

 

post pics, and open the engine bay, take a pic of that side frame. , u can see it from the engine bay. this will show either control arm damage or frame.

 

i did the same thing a couple months back. girl in an audi hit me dead center on the tire. i litterally had minor damage from it though. couple scuffs on the wheel and sheared bolts on the lower part of the axle (around the brake area; anybody know what its called?) my wheel was pushed in at an odd angle as well. had it towed home, replaced the bolts with OEM ones and she was good as new.

dunno if thats similar at all to your situation but thought it might be of some help. best of luck to ya!!

 

oh one more thing, the impact bent the bar that stems from the top of the coil tower and runs down to right behind the rotor. sorry but im totally brain dead today. i cant for the life of me remember what its called. anybody wanna enlighten me?

 

alright so the biggest damage to the car is a bent A-frame. that will be fixed soon. thanks for the help.

 

Glad to hear it was only the A-arm and rim [more or less]... you got lucky...
