Hey, I crashed my car up pretty badly a couple days ago... My front end is all screwed up- front bumper, front fenders, headlights, etc... I was wondering if the front shock absorber is fixable if the mounts for it on the car`s frame are bent to one side... Also, what can I do about my front fenders? Should I buy new ones or jus fix the messed up ones? They are just bent back a little bit with a couple dents in them. Thanks

Are you planing on doing this work yourself? You really need to take it to a body shop so they can see if it needs straightening out and fix the damaged strut towers. Or, are you asking if the struts themselves can be salvaged from the damaged car, so you can re-use them?

I mean right behind the front bumper, there is the metal one that absorbs the shock of a collision.... Its screwed into place by 4 screws, 2 on each side, mine is bent about half a foot to the left from my T-bone collision. i wanted to know if thats fixable or not by me
