How much is that going to set you or should I say your insurance company back?
I didn't see anything obvious on the front spoiler. It was a fairly low curb so that was good.

I don't think I'm going to get the insurance company involved. Not sure what the final ($) damage will be. So far I'm in for:

1. 20 mile tow
2. Two new front tires ($550)
3. Front wheel needs to be repaired ($150-$200)

I spoke to the tech on Friday and he said he didn't see anything obviously damaged. The a-arms are ok, the struts are fine. The tie-rods be be bent, but there's no way to tell that until it goes on the alignment rack.

My other major concern is that the CV's are shot. When I drove the car the short distance after it happened (I was a mile from work) there was a ticking noise that was speed and steering angle dependent. I am hoping it was just the bent wheel interacting with the sidewall. But I think it could be a the CV.
CV as in cv boot? Did you hit the rear? If not no cv boot in front.
