Of course it depends on what got crunched, if it is just a tie rod that got bent, it won't be bad, and easy fix, but if the A frame got crunched and the axles got bent, then it will be a big job. I would call the insurance co, and tell them a deer ran in front of you. Only kidding. Anyway, the cost will be from an easy fix of $150 for the tie rod, and $1,100 for the bent axle and A frame. That would be a minimum, there could be more damage there, and there could be less. Check it out.

It may need a lower control arm at the least which could cost approx in $300 range parts and labor. Afterwards you also would want a wheel alighnment which cost approx $65. If you have more problems it could run into bad axle, tie rods, rim, tire and sway bar end links.

Looking at what could cause the rear of the car to wiggle side to side when accelerating from 0 to 25 mph? the wheels do not look like they are wobbling when driving down the road! tire belts bad?

Tires...rear suspension...rear alignment - in that order. I had a car with a really bad rear alignment that hop sideways every time you went over a bump in the road.

Why is my front driver side tire wobble when i hit a bump

First, have the tire inspected before you do any expressway driving. you could have a damaged tire with a tread or internal ply separation. second, inspect the front shock absorbers, it sounds like the left front shock has failed and lost its hydraulic fluid. third have the front steering linkage and front suspension checked for worn or loose tie rods, idler arm, ball joints and stabilizer bar links. do this ASAP as you don't want to have the tire fail or any parts break while you are driving!

Check that your front tire size (and width) is not greater than factory recommended. Also check that plastic splash panels under wheel well are not hanging out of position (compare right to left sides). Any recent fender-benders? especially on right front?

Damaged plastic liner of wheel well rubs on tire when driving over bumps

Even if you popped the dent out, the liner may not fit back on tightly. They are usually held by plastic clips or plastic pins or even plastic screws that easily get distorted, or the hole they are held with gets enlarged from tearing. You could keep the liner up with a couple of machine screws drilled into strategic places....or, you could just remove the liner-it's not a safety issue-it just helps keep mud and dirt from building up in the wheel wells and fender corners. To remove it, first take the wheel off. Then you can see how it is held on Pull it off and throw it away.
If you pop the dent out and fender looks pretty good, and the liner appears it can be re-used with just a little help, all the better.
It;s up to you.

My 99 dodge durango makes a "rubbing" sound when

it might be because of the tires rubbing against the fender, as you speed up the tires expand so the can rub against the sides of the fender.

or it might be a simple brake problem, u can try getting your brakes serviced

Hi looking for my fuse box for a chevrelet trailblazer, the year 2005

You MAY have 2 depending on what options you may have, I know the Extended version has 2. The main one is under the hood on the drivers side. You'll see a rectangular black box . If you're standing over the right front drivers tire, it will be right under you against the fender. Push two clips in with your fingers and it will pop up and out.

The other one you May or May not have is under the rear seat, drivers side rear seat.
