I just smashed my car :(

Post by Shhtuart »

I just finished work and was making a turn out the carpark with a little too much power and i skidded and smashed my rear right wheel into the curb.

The wheel is completely bent, along with both control arms.

I feel so empty right now.

The other side is fine, no panel damage it's only what i think its the control arms and the droplinks that are gone.

Can anyone, without seeing pictures, hazard a guess into what I may have damaged?

most likely the same as the other guy a few weeks ago that smashed the front left side on a round about
plus might have bent the rear right dogbone mount

Thanks.

Mines the drivers side rear wheel though.

That should be less to fix shouldn't it?

Hmmm, might be a bit different. No steering rack to worry about. Main thing to be worried about is where the control arm attaches to the car.

    There's no cracked metal that I can see.

    I might be sending you a PM for parts soon Dwayne.
