    So I had an accident. :( I got hit from the back and because of that, I hit a truck up front. The back all I need to replace is the fender, the bumper, and the tailgate. The front, I have damage on the bumper, the hood, the frame of the front, the fender, and something is up with the wheels. One wheel is straight but the other is pointing out almost 30°. What parts do y’all think I would need for that?

    Tie rods most likely for starters. gonna need some closer pics to give a better assessment.

    What matters most is no one was seriously hurt.

    If the front is bunged up that badly, best to have a competent body and frame shop make sure everything is O.K., and there isn't any hidden frame damage and everything is still straight before going into the front suspension...

    How fast was the vehicle going that hit you ?

    You were stopped ??

    Really hard to know without being up close and in person.

    The thing is if it can still be able to track straight and not destroy tires in a few miles.

    Your insurance company will most likely call it a total loss.

    Yawn...
    I don’t believe the Internet is a good place to receive a true assessment for this matter. If you want better answers, your best bet is a collision repair shop.

    Well, it was probably 50 MPH. Two cars swerved in front of me, I went to the right shoulder, the dude in the back hit me, I lost control and hit the dude in the front. There person in the back dipped and I could not get his plates so the insurance said it was my fault.

    I have included possibly a better picture. I'm going to have to go to a body shop in order to really know what to replace.

    That will be totaled by the insurance company. There's definitely frame damage.

    Sorry, that really sucks.
