If you ask nice enough they’ll use some lube lol! But it cost extragoing to an alignment shop Tom to see what they say as they do free estimates. Then if I must, I’ll take it to the dealership and get raped

Any idea how much cost I’m looking at worst case at a dealer?
The GT is my get down and dirty car... here’s real stuck up one...This doesn't help you, but between your situation and the surface rust in the pictures, all remind me while I leave my Mustang parked in the wet.
I had a strut replaced and alignment done at a Ford dealership and if I remember correctly it was around $500 total.Any idea how much cost I’m looking at worst case at a dealer?
Been there done that hit a curb with 80 km/h (49 mph) for me was just an alignment but I need 2 new wheels just like you. Also the wobbly and wobble noise according to my ford dealer is tires/wheels that are bend which make sense so once I get the new wheels and tires for spring season I will know for sure but 3 shops looked at the car and said there was nothing wrong with suspension.Well I got carried away messing around and I fishtailed and my front wheel driver side at the curb looks like my rear driver side wheel also hit the curb I was able to recover and that totally spaced out but now I notice my steering wheel is misaligned and almost 45° towards the left do you guys think I broke something or been something When looking around the vehicle all you see are curb rash is on the front wheel and the rear wheel no scuff marks on the bumpers no inner fender is broken when driving around it wants to drive straight but starts to lean leftTire pressure is staying good and some slight wobbly and a wobble noise at slow speed’s
I would take it to an alignment shop and have them do the repairs (other than wheels). If you use a dealer or insurance company the Carfax will indicate a repair for a crash. Between the insurance deductible, possible higher rates, diminished value from the Carfax, dealer prices for parts, etc.. better off using an alignment shop that won't report it do the repairs. As others mentioned, you can find used, even like new, wheels for sale cheap.Y’all making me nervous..... I didn’t think it sound that bad where I’d have to claim to my insurance to fix this? I’m going to take it to Alignment shop today and see what they got to say. Thanks everyone, F the wheel, I just want my steering wheel straight and was hoping for just an alignment I care less what the rim looks like

Google reviews suck. Totally unreliable. Many fake reviews and poor oversight.Man I hate to see that. That would really upset me because even after repaired my OCD mind would keep going back to "does this look right or how do the gaps look and do they measure consistently across the board".
If it were me I would take it to your local Ford dealer or find the best Ford dealership in your region when looking at google reviews. Reason I say this is because as a Ford mechanic he's likely to know the way the car should look underneath because he sees them say in and day out. That's not to say guys at an alignment shop or any other non Ford dealer won't know the same things it's just I think it's most likely the dealership mechanics will know more about your specific car but that's just my $.02 not looking to start a debate.
Again sorry for you. Hope you get it fixed correctly. I will keep this in mind next time I'm buffing off dust that bugs me to think at least I don't have your issues.
I have. I own 2 businesses and rely on Google tremendously.Google reviews suck. Totally unreliable. Many fake reviews and poor oversight.
Yelp is not perfect either, but generally much more reliable. Compare and see.
