Looks to have hit the rear back corner of a Porsche SUV, which had little damage.

Dodge's front ends suck. Having to send my 3 yo pick-up in for a new front end while under warranty, is one of the reasons I got rid of it.

Maybe the suspension failure caused the accident?

Either way, the bumper/grille looks basically undamaged.

I am pretty sure if ANY vehicle of that size were to hit another vehicle there would be damage. Like others said it looks like front end part failure.

55,000 km on my Jeep Patriot's balljoints. Glad I replaced them.

What they heck is that high pitched noise? And I thought you drove a Vibe?

There's a bit of damage near the bumper, and the Porsche's rear back corner was a bit crumpled. Looked like a smallish impact. Must've been a failure that others have mentioned. I should have took a pic from behind the front wheel of the truck - it was a mess.

wow that was alot of wear with only 55K kms.

good thing you did, popping a balljoint gets expensive. as it damages a bunch of other parts of the vehicle if its in motion at the time.

When I lifted my truck and stayed ifs. I'd go through two sets of ball joints a year, and they were heavier duty ones then stock. Almost all it's miles were logging roads though. Solid axle solved everything.
