Default Need a little help!

Well here it is! The boy ran over a curb in the middle of a parking lot and rely messed some stuff up under the car ( 02 Camaro )! The major problem is that the drivers side tire rubs on the back side of the wheel well! among a few other things! My question is can this be fixed with out taking the whole suspention and motor mount cross member out and replacing it and if so who or what kind of shop whould I take this to? Thanks!

Sure sounds like the front suspension got bent back (if you are talking about the front). Could have been worse, at least he didn't hit a telephone pole!

Without seeing a picture, we have to assume that the K-member and lower control arm are damaged. If you’re lucky, it’s just the lower control arm. How does the top of the strut look?

Take it to a body shop for a quote. It is going to be tuff to tell what is damaged from pictures. Most body shops will write you up a quote. At this point everything would be suspect. Upper and lower control arms, frame even the rack and its mounts. These type of repairs can be very deceptive most of the time bodymen can spot all the damage but I have even seen decent body guys miss frame damage and sent the car for "final align" only to have me kick it back because of missed frame damage.
