i recently took my car on the nurburgring,, 12th of the month,, all went well as u can see on the pics,, ( focus general chat) then decided to go agen the following sunday,, where i pushed the beast to the limit,, bak end coming out all over the place,, and,, being inexperienced in thiss,, put the car into the barrier,, drivers side,,

the damage is a bent wishbone,, bent shock,, damaged track rod and the garage also said it is "advisable" to get a new hub and bearing,,
due to prices of this dameage they said to get it driveable again they would just replace the wishbone and track rod,, i dont really no what to do lol,,

any advise would be greatly appreciated

Ouch!!!

That sounds right assuming the track rod is the swaybar. I'd think that the rack and pinion (steering) would be a problem, the outer tie rod would most likely be damaged. Without looking at the suspension I'd say you'd need a lower control arm (wishbone), tie rod, tie rod end, sway bar end link, and possibly the sway bar also. You'll be lucky if you don't need a strut and strut bearing as well.

^^ I will second what whynot said. Personally, I would inspect the rack and pinion to confirm damage - those units used to be pretty tough and take a good hit without being damaged. I don't know about the one under the Focus though. With the rest of the suspension, it is usually a good idea to replace all parts on the damaged side to prevent any guess work on why the front end won't line up properly.
