Broken knuckle
 
2004 ION Coupe had hit a major pothole and actually broke the knuckle.

My question would be, would it have done any damage to the structure/frame warping etc. for it to hit that hard and snap that knuckle like a twig?

Check the control arm, hub, and sway bar.

I looked at all that. The sway bar end link popped off.

The strut is rusted and the bottom bolt of the strut is what gave way. This is what it looks like now.

Although the drivers side looks pretty good from the pics it's not, the 2 door panels will have to be replaced too, also has 2 stored codes P0128 & P0442.

p0128 is the thermostat
p0442 has to do with the fuel cap being loose.


I have a thermostat, fuel cap, both door panels (in black) a strut (with spring), and a knuckle that I could sell you.


I have 2 parts cars bud. I can help yuh out with whatever you need to get it right.

I was going to buy the car but, between my wife and I, came to the conclusion that it was going to cost to much to fix and for what they were asking for it was a little to much.

Ahh, so it was deemed totaled?

tooter1 08-09-2015 03:41 PM

Unfortunately it was. 😪

Kinda looking for one and kinda not. I found a 5 speed one for $400 that said it needed an engine. Don't really want a 5 speed though.

Is this car worth $500?
