Curb Hit, whats the damage?
Curb hit today going ~40mph. Was trying to see what the damage is before I take it in tomorrow. When steering is "straight" the driver side front wheel that was hit leans inward, compared to the pass side that wasn't hit. Judging by the top of fender, the hit wheel leans in about and inch and the non hit front wheel is almost flush with fender... Also the steering wheel vibrates, feels like It has a lot of play in it, and pulls to one side when hands are off. Just want to halfway know what to expect, and possibly average cost if this is a common things. Thanks. First pic is curbed driver front wheel, 2nd pic is comparison pass front wheel.

Bent A-Arms for sure. Wheel is a goner too.

Camaro's don't have A-Arms.....
Possibly a new strut, maybe knuckle, radius rod, tie rod end, etc. Obviously somebody wasn't driving properly  My brother got a great deal on a RX7 once with similar damage, unfortunately somehow they managed to tweak the strut tower too, the car never could get aligned just right.

Wheels are just cosmetic. Just heavy curb rash, didn't notice any bends, or anything. Tire is still holding air. Whatever it is, hopefully I csm get it in/out shop before Thanksgiving. Thanks for all the responses and info,

What was the culprit here? Poor driving decision? The bald tires? Or a combination of the two?
