Hello. I know this is going to be vague and I have no pictures but my camera was broken in the accident. Today I slid off the road and clipped my front left bumper and side on a pole. The front left tire is no longer attached to anything but the break line, but the axle is still there. I know its vague, but any ideas about what could be wrong and any idea what it would cost to be fixed? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I know, but my camera was broken in the collision and i know jack about cars. The axle isnt broken but whatever was immediately connected to the tire seems to have snapped

If it was my vehicle and cost was an issue a salvage yard is where I would start and a repair manual with suspention illustrations.

Anyhow it would show you what connects the tire with the truck, HAYNES repair books, they are at most auto part stores or maybe someone here can upload a diagram here
