Hey

I just joined here to get some help. I drive a 99 Pontiac Sunfire GT, and I was on the way to the store when i saw that my tank was bone dry, below empty. So I went to the gas station thinking that I might not even make it there, so I was trying to get there a little quick, the (right) turn came up, so i started on the brakes, but they were skipping, making a clinking noise, and then i tried turning hoping it would at least drift and i would be alright, but the curb came up too soon and i hit it at a 45degree angle, making my wheel take the whole hit. I pulled into the gas station just to the left of me, and it was making wierd noises the whole way in. I took a look, and nothing looks wrong when its off. It smelt like burning though. So I put a bit of gas in, and went home, it was making a lot of wierd noises, and I didnt think i should take it past 60km/h. When I got home, I tried seeing how the tires were lined up, but everytime i turned the wheel, the left tire would clip the fender. Also, I had to keep the steering wheel to the left (maybe right, cant remember) the whole time to drive straight, and if i let go, the car would swerve instantly to the right.

Does anyone know what kind of damage im looking at, or a rough price estimate?
I just recently moved up north, to Markham/North Toronto, and dont know any good places where I can get everything looked at, and probably get my alignment redone. I would love to hear any information possible.

Thanks in advance

In case anyone is wondering, i got it repaired a while ago at canadian tire.

The damage was: Control Arm, Spindel, Knuckle, Bearing, Struts, outer tie rod, Alignment. The Front Caster on both sides was out, and they wouldnt fix it since they dont deal with frames there. Right now Left is 4.7deg, right is at 5.1deg.

Total cost was $1000
