Bit of an Emergency, need some help!

Post by Ftowner »

So i had a little incident in my Fto, and lets just say i believe the steering arm is bent. My front right wheel is off alignment (has been pushed back) So when i drive it is rubbing onto the inner guard and wont allow me to steer right.

Taking it to a mechanic soon, just wondering if you guys have any idea how much this will cost roughly? All the rest of the car is fine it still has its Aesthetics, and all the other wheels / tyres are perfect, its just the front right one. Any help will be very much appreciated, Cheers.

$50 on aquaplaning into a kerb for the cause :lol:
Depends what else is bent in the process, could have a few other things you cant see messed up.
Price will be whatever Dwayne will charge you for the parts plus maybe a few hundred depending on what mechanic you take it too and how much they feel like ripping you off.
My advice is chummy up with a mechanic friend and get a couple o cartons, buy the arm off Dwayne and it wont cost nearly half as much than if you just take it into someone

Either way it's going to be expensive.
