damn man, sorry to hear that...its gena be pretty pricey....i figure no less than 1k, labor is major money and fixing the axel will prolly be big bucks. good luck with everything.

Pep boys has lifetime axles for i think 75 bucks. Get the rim @ a junkyard or off ebay. 50$. Fender is like 60$ and paint will run prolly 75$. Can u pop the dent out? Take the fender off and see what u can do. Body work is $$$$$$.

That was a pretty dumb thing to do. I've had much worse nights that weren't even my fault. You've got to pay to play, it's that simple.

The axle isn't big bucks. When i snapped my axle it cost me about $75 to get a used axle from the junkyard, my dad paid a guy like $50 to have it put in, but you could install it yourself, it isn't too hard. THe other stuff i dunno about.

Pete's right, civic axles aren't that big of a deal from what i've heard. A buddy of mine is on his third set from Autozone. He paid 60 bucks a piece for two of them, and they have a lifetime guarantee, so every time he snaps one, he just goes back and gets another. It really shouldnt cost you all that much as long as you do the work yourself

i can swap an axle in about 15-20 minutes if everything goes right. ive had it take ma a day and a half, but i have the right tools now, instead of trying to do it without them. but im thinking that one of your steering knuckles may have bent as well. you need to inspect it really carefully, and once you have everything fixed, take it and get an alignment done, and have them inspect everythign else for damage. they may find a hidden problem.
