Ran over some road debris

[tdpark]

Wife hit an angle iron that fell off a truck and it sliced through the front tire and the rear tire bubbled. On top of that the impact to the back was so hard the tire is just slightly cocked so the inner part of the tire wears a bit more. I changed out the lower control arm trying to get it back in alignment. Frame checked out and the only other thing I can think of is that the spindle is bent.

On top of that- the front rim had a puncture in the actual rim right in the middle of the rim. The tire had a very slow leak and they found a puncture in the middle.

I had the the wind shield replaced for $120.

I was lucky that day.


I would have followed the truck and had him pay for the damage.

Traffic was heavy and it took me a while to gather my wits. There was glass on the inside of the dash. By then, I could not catch him.
