I got lucky – after expert analysis at IMA, here’s the butcher’s bill:

 

  1. New Hub/Spindle
  2. Replace A-Arm as a precaution (these are 4 year old OEM A-Arms)
  3. Replace wheel bearing as a precaution
  4. New Fender/Headlight
  5. New Strut (Bilstein – OUCH!)
  6. Need to straighten the caster block mount – this will take some doing….

 

All in all, I got off pretty lucky on damage considering the hit….
