I am having some trouble with my 2004 X type 3.0 automatic. I got into an accident and the passenger side front suspension/wheel/bumper was damaged.

The tie rod came off but I could not get a good look to see what else was damaged. The car does not move when in 'reverse' and makes a 'clunking' noise when in drive.

Does anyone have any advice or info on what I should look for to resolve this? Thanks.

 

If I had to guess, I would say CV joint damage. But, really this is not something that can be diagnosed in a forum. It needs to go to a shop and put on a lift to see what is actually happening.

 

Yes it turns out the CV axle was destroyed on impact. And apparently if one axle is slipping, none of the other wheels will move due to the design of the differentials. I had the axle and tie rod end replaced and I am back on the road.
