[QUOTE="neatofrito1618, post: 14680325, member: 41787"] A few days ago I ran into a curb going 40-50 mph. I had dead center contact with my drivers side front tire which caused the tire to explode and crack/bend the wheel. I haven't had a chance to take it to a body shop, but so far at a bare minimium the damage I surveyed is as follows. New drivers side front wheel/tire New rear tire(it's still intact but there is a massive bubble from when it the curb ripped into the sidewall) New strut tower(it can't be welded, it's bent and has a nice sized crack) and last but not least... the frame on the drivers side shifted back around 1/8th of an inch, which in conjunction with the strut tower is causing a shitload of negative camber. I'm currently still DDing it with a spare on the front. I have no idea how invasive it will be to reposition the drivers side frame but I'm not holding my breath. My deductible is $1,000 but I'm of course concerned about my rates increasing. Obviously there are a lot of personalized individual factors that contribute to increased rates after an at-fault claim, but in general what are other people's experiences that have been in a similar situation and filed with insurance? FWIW I've been driving for 9 years and have zero tickets or at-fault accidents. [/QUOTE]
