Greetings; several weeks ago my lovely spouse hit a deer on the way to work. In the process the rf wheel hit a culvert on the right side of the road, and broke the "A" frame right inside the ball joint. Damage was limited to the A frame, strut assembly, and tie rod, as well as the rf fender and inner plastic fender. I wonder if the A frame casting is designed to break, thus limiting further damage or frame(unibody)damage? The car is back together now using mostly used parts from Voluparts in Atlanta, and appears as good as new. The only difficult part of the repair was figuring how to get the front bumper off to gain access to the front fender bolts (there are two bolts hidden under the black rubber trim piece).[IMG]http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w187/wtom24/11-30-2007030.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w187/wtom24/11-30-2007026.jpg[/IMG]
