On december last year I hit a curb, I swear I was going at more than 5 miles an hour. Only my left side tire hit the curb. Then I was told that my wheel was bent, so I had someone bend it back to normal, worked just fine, the car was pulling a bit. So I went to get an aligment, I was told the left lower control arm was bent and needed fixing. I had that bent back to "normal". A few months later, my car started making a tick or clicking noise, feeling on the steering wheel while turning while stopped or really low speeds. Took the car in today to the nissan dealer service, and they said that: My lower arm is weak because of the bending back. My power steering rack is damaged, and my strut assembly is noisy on the inner shaft. They quoted me over 1600 of parts and labor. So my question is, will I find this cheaper anywhere? usually my problem in the past has been that there arent many Spec Vs out there so junk yards dont have the parts I need. Are any of the parts I need the same as regular sentras? What are your suggestions? The car drives fine but I dont wanna drive it too much with that stuff broken.
