Our 04 Town & Country Lx, with 181k, hit a curb, went about 10 more feet and stopped. Except for where I had to hammer the wheel well back away from the RF tire so I could tow it home, no other body damage. All damaged parts have been removed and here's where it stands. It will require everything suspension wise on the RF corner, including a new tire. The airbags did a very thorough job on the dash and windshield unfortunately. The oil pan was crushed as was the cast aluminum suspension crossmember and reinforcement plate. That's about it. Parts will run me around $800 going through Greenleaf, not including the airbags. The work is within my ability. I've got AllData Online and a shop manual. My concern is this. After I get it back together, what additional problems might I run into that I haven't thought about, that will likely show up when I try to start it for the first time? The battery was disconnected as soon as I got to the van. I've reconnected it a couple of times to raise and lower the windows with nothing out of the ordinary happening. The normal dash lights come on and go off as they should. That pretty much covers it. Oh, and we like it WAY better than the 07 we replaced it with. The 04 is fully loaded with confortable, removeable back seats. The 07 is a base with stow away seats. Have you ever sat in the stow away seats? Whoever designed those seats did not have any form of comfort in mind and new that they would never, ever have to sit in one for more than 30 seconds, themselves. I'm done. Thank you in advance for your thoughts, opinions, suggestions and advice.
God Bless and Happy Holidays!

 

I'd say it should be fine replacing the parts and driving it.

 

how did it go?

 

Still up on blocks. Why, you want it!?! I've decided to sell it off, whole or in pieces.
