Hopefully you’ll be back up and running soon:). Those parts would’ve ended up in the scrap bin so I’m glad someone was able to use them. Don’t forget about the rockauto discount code if you decided to get a tie rod from them which is good until June 6.

Taken off the muffler to put on the new tie rod rack and found this concerning bend here

I don't see any cracks or bends larger than the thickness of this plate. On farther inspection I see bends on the left side passenger side, but you have to really eyeball it to notice.bend inwards by 1/8th inch

Shouldn't complain though. Almost died afterall. Fact that this is most likely going to be on the road again soon is very lucky. Appreciate yalls help too.

Found more damage, both seat mounts are bent, passenger seat is not useable. Front knuckles are bent where the tie rod ears are.

edit: front is fine i think, need to do an alignment and bleed the brakes and see from there. i took it out this early morning and stayed under 35 mph and it seemed like it didnt want to kill me again. testing the brakes and accel there is a pull from the rear to one side, hopefully its just an alignment and brake bleeding related thing.
