    It is difficult for anyone on a web forum to give any useful advice without more details. Without some more specific information, alignment data, or background all we can do is guess.

    haha 6 pages later. OP, we genuinely want to help you if we can. So the most info you can give us, the easier it is going to be. If you somehow pull off having this covered under a warranty, then that would be the craziest thing ever but good for you. If not, all those parts are not hard to replace if you're comfortable with getting your hands dirty and have some sense of how parts work and fit together.

    Op, if you ran something over, that you had no control over, like a rock, tire, or something else in the road. You can turn it into your insurance company. It's called an Act Of God accident. Pay your deductible and it's covered a 100%. Your insurance company has to approve this also, happened to me twice. I hit a rock from a landslide in the road coming around a corner in the mountains, wife ran over a wheel/tire on the freeway. 100% repaired no problems at all.

    I will say that if you have to pay for your own repairs and can't do the installs on your own, a Toyota dealership would be the last place I have charging me for that work. There's got to be reputable shops around you that you can take it to for that work and it will be much cheaper I'm sure.

    I should also add that you will need pictures of what you ran over for your insurance company.

    I respectfully disagree. When repairs of this nature are performed under the umbrella of a "warranty", those who have legitimate warranty repairs that need resolution many times are put through the ringer, partly because of the above....

    I'm a firm believer in karma. If one benefits because of a level of deceit and an economy with the truth, it surly will come back to bite you in the ass. ......

    I should also add that you need to be honest if you ran something over. Don't go taking a picture of a dead cow and say you hit it going 70mph.

    Just as the dealership is looking over your truck, your insurance company will send it to a shop to verify that you did run something over.

    I have access to anything i need. Dont have much tools but I can buy them. Im fortunate to have all the help if need to be but i never been a vehicle guy always Moto but before I go a route asking for there help id like to attempt it myself. If i have to take it to my buddy shop because of special tools then ill go that route. If it needs to be up on a lift then ill throw it on one.

    I completely understand, I live in CA, got 5 vehicle's insured, and it will definitely raise your rates for 3 years.

    I like how this dude is dishonest as fuck, but people are still trying to help him. Fuck that. But when other people on this site are similarity dishonest, the TW mob does their thing and lynches them.

    point being, tell them you did anything of the sort intentionally as opposed to act of god rock scenario and watch the rate skyrocket.

    Yeah I would never go through insurance for something like this. Just own up to being a dingus and fix it and move on.
