More Advice Needed Please!

March 8, 2005

Ok as some of you know Im having a bad time recently with the car! I hit a big kerb in the snow and it bent my alloy. Ive since put the origional ones back on and had it tracked etc.

The problem is it still seems to pull to the left when I drive. (I hit the passenger front on the kerb).

Just wondering if anyone has any idea what I could have broken/bent under the car? A bloke has had a look and says everything is straight but it doesnt feel right when i drive it :crybaby:

Can I have some ideas please on what i could have done and what kind of prices itll be to fix them? I know I need to goto a proper garage just wondering what kind of evil prices ill be getting charged!

Many thanks Im back off to curl up in the boot as a gibbering wreck :ffs: :help:

Sounds like the lower suspension arm may be bent. It doesn`t have to be by much to be noticeable. You can check it pretty well by yourself. Just centralise the steering and measure between the front and rear wheel centres on both sides. They should be the same. And if your still not sure. Take it to someone like ATS and ask them to check the camber and caster angles. This should show up any problems. Good Luck :thumbsup:
