how much would it cost if you ,hypothetically....., broke the front right lower control arm clean , tie rod, and scuffed 2 rims? also would there be any other damage to the front right quarter panel , assuming you hit something pretty hard?

If you hit hard enough to break a control arm, your frame is most likely tweaked and will need adjusting.

Haven't a clue, but I'm glad you're okay.

Did you have an accident?

Sounds like you just inquiring?

Any good body shop could/should be able in answer the question.

My shop will work with me so PM me a phone # and the exact parts I will get you an answer:)

If you were, say hypothetically, drifting into a curb hard enough to break a control arm, there are more concerns too. The rear axle and bearings, steering box and aluminum cross member come to mind. You might want to have the watts link on the opposite side looked at too.

I'm hypothetically glad to hear you're OK though . . . ;)

Glad to hear you are OK. Hopefully they will get your MM back to pre-accident condition. What took out the Rims and lower control arm, a curb?:alone:

Right now the car is over at signature LM in LV. It will only take one to two days to fix once the parts get in. No frame damage found yet, everything else looks to be ok. What i need is a lower control arm and tie rod end overnighted to them lol. wouldnt that be nice. Thanks anyway.

No frame damage found yet.

That's always real good news.

Well, after closer inspection by LM they found frame damage. Im going to need frame work, fenders, Upper and Lower Control arms, tie rod, basically a whole new a-frame, body work, 2 new wheels, one new tire, and a bunch of other ****. grand total is about 5600. wow. going to take 10-12 days. BUT they say she'll be in pre accident shape. so yay. My modding priorities are going from speed to steering and braking. so control arms, sway bars, and 6 piston calipers .... here i come.

Or as I heard from a wise man at MMville II, all go and no woe, not cool.

Good call on the breaks.
