I got cut off by some dumb bitch on her cell phone while driving thru Warren. I swerved to miss her, slid sideways right into a curb with the back wheel. Here are some pics of the damage.

and the replacement link is only like $51 dollars retail.

Impressive that ther wasn't that much damage. Just like.. a scuff on the lip of the wheel, and the bent link?

Exactly all the damage. And not only is that an 02 wheel that I don't like...but it was curbed prior to my purchase. I drove the car 28 miles from my parents to my place, and it didn't pull to any direction. It stayed straight, handled fine and all. The bar is rather close and will make due till I can get the new one.

glad to here it wasn't as bad as you thought... you were steaming!!

stupid ppl on cell phones :(
