i just got into a car accident with my 96 sc400 i had a vertex style front bumper, which is completely broken. i was wondering if there is any sites that sells front bumpers for cheap, since i am still a student and workin with a low budget or if any1 got one for sale.

it wasnt a serious crash, i rear ended a corolla at maybe 10mph. The front frame of the car seems to be fine and every seem to be okay beside the front bumper.

another thing is that the car sounds very weak now, doesn't purr as it did before the accident. it sounds more like a hybrid engine now nor does it pull as hard as before. also the car makes a very ugly grinding sound when i turn the wheel, but when driving over 40mph the sound seems to be gone. i was wondering if any1 has any clues on whats the problem is.

i will post some pics and a video in a bit for better understanding of the problem.

thank you for the help, it sucks that my 1st thread would have to be asking for help

Search the Forum Classifieds for a bumper.

Sounds like your steering rack is shot but it may just be a bushing or sway bar mount.

 

Have you tried looking under there what's wrong? Nobody would find out if you don't look.

 

That noise is your power steering pump taking a dump which it could be low on fluid but where did it go is the question?
