Jut looking for general knowledge...car is being towed to repair shop Monday... Hit ice and slid into curb on drivers side doing about 10 mph. Now front tire is bent inward, steering wheel spins independently without turning wheels and it looks like it's leaking transmission fluid from both sides of engine... How much damage does this sound like I did???

 

Welcome to DF! Sounds like you broke a tie rod (attached to front wheel and steering rack), are you sure it's transmission fluid and not steering fluid? If it is steering fluid then you definitely cracked/broke the steering rack. If it is transmission fluid, then you probably broke a CV axle and cracked the transmission housing. Sorry to say thats going to be an expensive repair bill. Hopefully your insurance will cover it.

 

Well, the fluid leaking is deep red which points me toward transmission fluid and not PS fluid... Waiting on an estimate from the repair shop now. Will let you know what kind of damage meeting an immovable object at 10-15 MPH did once they call me...

 

I'm new to the journeys, but on my other two dodges, the trany and ps fluid are the same (ATF +4). Can anyone verify?
