    you can have quite a bit of damage from hitting a curb. I know a guy who spent about $5k after running over a curb the wrong way. He was not able to drive it right after the hit.

    Same crap everyone else got
    You're ability to deflect is impressive...was this an issue when you bought the truck? If not what did you do to cause this bc it doesn't just happen. If it was an issue when you purchased it, how did it take you a month to discover it bc it would have been pretty obvious.

    Expected Op' response to my post: "it wasnt."

    Where your eyes closed when it happened. Kinda like if I don’t see the curb it didn’t happen, “I bought it that way.”

    Ok, OP.
    I’ll take it a bit easier on you.

    You’re options are limited.
    You can either fix the truck yourself. - Cheapest
    Pay to have the truck fixed. - Expensive
    You’ll need an alignment after the parts are installed. You’ll pay for this as well.

    I’ll even play with the idea you some how didn’t know the parts were bent or bad.
    It’s possible you bought the truck under the assumption it needed an alignment. (Story time)
    And later found out it needed more than just an alignment. (What happened)
    I would think with all the parts that are bad, it would have pulled really hard one direction.
    Really, really hard. Like alarms going off, you shouldn’t be driving the truck, type alarms.

    Also, I have never seen a warranty that covered damaged parts.
    I seen defective parts covered under warranty. With all the parts you say are bad, it would be nearly impossible the parts went “defective” all at once.

    I honestly do feel bad for you. I never like to any with a broken truck.
    Hopefully you can get the truck back up and running at minimal cost.

    At this point, at least tell us how the damage “could” have happened.
    Just because it “could” have happened doesn’t mean it “did” happen.

    I think maybe @whatstcp took it for a test drive.
    He’s got kings and forgot you didn’t? :goingcrazy:

    I'm just saying that they exist for the sole purpose of keeping people from driving over them.

    I bent my passenger spindle doing things, it didn't pull that hard but it ate up a new tire and several places couldn't get it aligned.

    Well after having dealt with. A bent arm on my tundra the install isn’t too bad for everything. But if your spindle, control arms and everything are bent, You’ve probably got frame damage. Me having a bent control arm from The truck rolling over and landing on that side pushed the cam tabs out and I had to repair those tabs. And I only messed up the lower arm. You have to hit something REALLY hard to bend all you’ve supposedly got bent
    But to swap it all your self it’s not too bad on 2nd gens.

    personally i'd take it somewhere for a second opinion. it takes a hard hard hit to damage all of that. chances are if you bent anything, its spindle or just lower arm
