Ran over a curb, wheel is crooked, steering isn't centered. Where and how much?
Ran over a curb turning left. Front left wheel is really crooked. Steering wheel off, couple of questions

Can I drive around like this?

What is exactly damaged?

Where can I get this fixed, besides the dealer, and how much would it be? A shop recommendation would be great.

Seconded on both counts - you've got some serious suspension damage going on there - DO NOT drive on that. I'm surprised it's not dragging the wheel anywhere in the wheelwell/suspension with that level of tweak, and it could fail further at any moment.

Ugh.. at least there is a new Subaru dealer in Elk Grove. I guess I'll stop by and get an inquiry to the damage, and possibly call up Paul. If I can even make it there safely
