Figured I might as well shoe my progress on the accident. You can see I have the rear end up to remove the axle. And the picture of the bent axle next to the one from the salvage yard.
Wife picked the largest hill in town to go get girl scout candy on rather then go around it and slid hard into a curb sideways. The metal belly pan saved the engine but the front right control arm, inner tie rod and cv axle were all bent. As was the rear axle. I am not to the front shocks yet but I am 90 percent the right is bent and about 50 percent sure the left is also bent. Sucks as the koni reds only had a couple weeks on them. Right side curtain and seat air bags also went off. Got a spare seat. It broke the threads only on the heated power leather seats so I am swapping the air bag over. Two nuts and a connector is all. Just need to figure out what thread to use. I have to still find a side curtain air bag and control module but I am just trying to get it back on the road first. Hoping the hub and or the subframe isn't bent.
New control arm from idparts.com with the better bushings pre installed. Cv axle and rear axle and seat from a 2.0 gasser golf. Rim ordered but found a match. Bent and cracked the rim
Car was totalled for the second time in its life. Getting everything back good to go since body and interior is fine as is drive system. Just need where the rubber meets the road and the two air bags.
