giant pot hole damage! please help

templarklimek · 11-26-2013, 08:51 AM

No good deed goes unpunished. Last night I managed to find the deepest pothole in Houston. The front tire popped instantly and the rim is ruined the rear rime was rubbed too.

More worrisome is I'm concerned it may have damaged the front left suspension bits. The bumper LOOKS ok but the sensor was a tad off. it popped back in. some rubbing under the air dam.

I feel sick, 4 hours of ownership. State farm is on it.

What are the chances of front end damage?

Please help!

I'm worried that I damaged the suspension bits, god know's how long that stuff will take coming from Germany.
