big a$$ pothole

so today I hit a huge pothole and ripped my inner fender lining out. I was pissed and didn't think much of it. I pulled the lining out of the wheel well and put it in my trunk. Then after looking at the car it looks like the lower part of that wheel sticks out like 2 inches further than the other side. Do you guys this its the lower control arm?

pothole or sinkhole???? yeah that's deff a NE thing. If they get that big here in the south we merely send the bills to the county and have those lazy a$$holes pay for it.

i was just on a terrible road and i was dodging pot holes and bumps left and right. I should've been going a little slower but you live and you learn. my friend is ordering me the wheel liner, its like 30 bucks. my car is pretty low thats why the liner got ripped out. and my control arm is fine. when i was looking down the sides of the car and saw the wheel sticking out more, i didn't realize the steering wheel was slightly turned.

so its not too bad just have to line the fender up a little bit because it got pulled when the liner got pulled.

His info says he lives in NJ. I assume J.C. means Jersey City? Yes pot holes are not fun over there.

i think he means northeast. i was wondering what NE was at first also since his info said NJ.
ugh, i'm dreading the thought of having to drive my car into south orange/newark to visit my bf at school potholes & really really small parking spaces... this is not going to be fun....
