Unless your tires were bald, I doubt their being wet caused your accident. More likely you had worn steering components like a bad tie rod that cause a loss of steering.
Or the pavement was wet and you hit the gas a little too hard. Jim
Yes thats what happened but im askin what do u think I need to fix to make my car drive right again bc the front passenger side went up the curb and I think bent that why tire is bending out. The control arm isn't bent but the front cradle u can see is uneven
Don't drive it if a tire is sticking out.
How is driving school goin to fix my car im askin should I replace my front cradle
Have a local mechanic put it on the lift to see what parts are bent and need replacing. Find one that has an alignment machine as well, sometimes it's hard to see what is actually bent.
Driving school will prevent another occurrence. As suggested get it inspected.
Replacing an engine cradle or sub frame is not a job for casual DIYer. That is a huge job and should be left to a pro.
Yes, as others have recommended, have it inspected by a reputable service facility. I would suggest a local body shop. If you have full coverage insurance they'll pay for the damage, less your deductible. I'm sure the owner of the parked car has already filed a claim against your insurance. Hope that helps! Jim
