    I hit a small boulder with my tire going around 25mph and heard a snap
    Need help diagnosing what broke.

    take some well lit pics underneath

    How far did you drive it like that????

    did the cam bolt on the lower control arm get knocked out?

    ball joint snapped?

    tierod end broke, bent rod?

    the front end has a lot of moving parts...

    Probably a ball joint, but don’t guess. Take the tire off and take a look.

    *shows pictures of obvious suspension damage*
    *doesn't provide one picture of suspension*

    from the looks of it, either the lower cam tab gave out and the LCA has pulled all the way out of alignment kicking the bottom of the wheel out, or the upper control arm / ball join on the UCA has been compromised. What suspension is underneath? have you changed anything out from OEM? can you provide pictures of the side that the wheel is obviously not straight of the Strut/control arms so we can visibly tell you whats wrong?

    I’ll take pictures of the suspension later when I get home.
    Nothing looks broken I took the wheels off yesterday and looked at it but I didn’t take much pictures just these of the cv axles from both sides IMG_0428.jpg IMG_0429.jpg IMG_0425.jpg IMG_0426.jpg
    The last two are from the damaged side

    My guess it’s either the steering rack
    Or the cv axle

    Either of the ones you’re mentioning have to do with the camber of the wheel which is clearly fucked.

    Pictures of the CV axle are pretty useless

    We needs pics of the control arms (upper and lower) and the tie-rods
