Hit a pothole and now my truck is sitting on the front tire

Guys I hit a pothole while driving it made a loud noise and now my trucks sitting on the front driver side tire i don't know what broke or what happened can anyone help me out on figuring out what's broken while I wait for the tow truck?

 

Take a pic!

 

Can you snap a pic? May help members see what might have happened.

 

I'm trying but I have horrible service and it's not letting me upload a picture

 

Prolly broke a strut, Spring, or Both.... If it hit real hard it prolly bent the control arm also..

 

I crawled under real quick and the only out of place thing I see is the UCA bent upwards would that do it?

 

That would do it but need pics to assess extent of damage.

 

Ball joint maybe

 

After you get your trucked towed some where, check your city government website for info on damage repayment. My city will reimburse you for tires and suspension parts damaged by pot holes. Make sure you note your location well in case the want verify.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^THIS

 

Ah. If that were only the case for Houston.

 

Half hour with no pictures...



OP based on your assessment I'm thinking you sheered the whole arm off you're gonna have to buy a new one. Or maybe you just popped the tire...



But I dunno, a picture may help this be more accurate.

 

Sounds like a good chance of a broken strut. Spacer lift?

 

Busted Lower Control Arm?

 

I think everything else would be gone if it was that hard of a hit.

 

I'm just trying to think what would allow the tire to move up that far. The lower control arm would limit that much vertical movement I'd think wouldn't it?

Broken strut still a possibility.

 

OP, is it similar to this?

 

Sounds like one hell of a pothole, dang

 

I think he's probably just sitting at full stuff and it looks like he's "sitting on the tire".
