Right front collision damage

[Eldrick1]

Only the second time my 18yo daughter drove my truck and she steered it into a parked car while turning in. So wheel at open angle toward curb. I was out of the area and just got back today to look. I am assuming catastrophic failure of the front right cv joint and possibly axel. It was towed to shop and they tried to drive it inside today and just got grinding noises so stopped immediately.
What collateral damage should I have them looking for. This is the cv joint.
I am sad

The whole axle 100% will need to be replaced. I'd also have them inspect the tie rod, lower control arm bushings, and sway bar link.

Have them inspect the trans too where the CV joint / axle go into the side of the case.

This should be covered by Ford. Check to make sure your VIN number is included with the recall.

Warranty isn't going to cover accident damage.

Unless you have a "self-driving" feature, Ford will not cover any of this. I guess this is the last time your daughter will drive your truck.

Correct!

Inspect the tie rod lower control arm bushings and sway bar link

I rather have had that than this. $10,500.
damage from a hit and run

Probably blinded by the shiny rims....

do you have front frame damage? looks like fender, bumper and grille from photo.
$10,500 seems high

I didn't realize it was from the accident, sorry.

I had similar damage + cost.
