How damaged is my car, it fell off the jack with one wheel off?

My friend jacked up my car, took off the front passenger wheel to change my rotors. The car slipped off the jack and landed on the rotor. Is there additional damage/stress to any other part to my car? The rotor got damaged but they were already being thrown out anyway. I'm going to get it checked out by the Honda dealer but I want to know what to expect. I drive a 2007 Honda Accord, 4 cylinder.How damaged is my car, it fell off the jack with one wheel off?
More than likely it did not hurt anything, if it did it should be nothing major.How damaged is my car, it fell off the jack with one wheel off?
I doubt there would be any other damage , but get it checked out if you`re at all concerned ...............How damaged is my car, it fell off the jack with one wheel off?
you may have tweaked some suspension stuff but that is all i can foresee. ball joints, tie rods, etc. but i highly doubt it. but new cars have a lot of electrical stuff going to brakes and suspension. abs sensor being one. the car is a 07 and needs brakes. there is a major issue there. brakes should last longer than that.



but the better question is why in the hell were you working on a car on only a jack. they make these things i am not sure if you have heard of them called jack stands. be thankful you were not under it when it fell.How damaged is my car, it fell off the jack with one wheel off?
Your friend is a moron. That's why they make jack stands. Never support a car on just a jack. Your friend is lucky it didn't land on him and cause a fatal injury.



Now to answer your question: The hub bearing, control arm, spindle, CV axel, ball joint, tie rods, and strut all could have been damaged. This is worst case scenario. If you are lucky, only the that old rotor got damaged.How damaged is my car, it fell off the jack with one wheel off?
Unless the jack whacked the side of the car or something similar happened - landing on the rotor at worst might have bent the dust shield or the air deflector under the front bumper.How damaged is my car, it fell off the jack with one wheel off?
There isn't any damage done to the rest of the car. Don't bother wasting your time or money at the dealership. Your car has struts to absorb impact and that's what ensured any other parts of your car from being damaged.How damaged is my car, it fell off the jack with one wheel off?
brake rotor tie rod ends steering brackets part of the suspension and lol off the jack y did he put the tire underneath the car in case something stupid like that happens lolol sorry not being professional

hmmm i would say if ur lucky just the rotor if not maybe some steering compents or and tie rod ends or suspension(spring/ strut) depends where it landedHow damaged is my car, it fell off the jack with one wheel off?
as long as nothing is leaking or when u drive on it it dont wobble or anything like that you should be good to go. hope that helpsHow damaged is my car, it fell off the jack with one wheel off?
It is a more common accident than you might think! I have never heard of more than damaged rotor and bent back plate as a result, even when the wheel came off on the road. I doubt it does the bearings any good, but they don't seem to mind.
