That happend to me last winter but I was in a parking lot doing 2 MPH...really weird..especially since I had been on I-75 (a really bumpy and curvy highway) earlier doing 85MPH. My lower control arm seperated from the knuckle because my mechanic didnt put a new cotter pin in the castle nut when he did my wheel bearings. Had to replace both control arms but the driveshaft was fine. Fender is still dented up a bit. $600 to fix that

Just pray you didn't bend any control arms. Did your driveshaft drop out? Mine did.
