Right, on tuesday i managed to stuff my car into a kerb head on on the nearside.

The wheel has been pushed back and was scraping the arch alllll the way home.

As i can tell the front cross member has been squished which has moved the anti roll bar i think that is what has pushed the wheel back.

Whats the chances of this being fixed??

Cheers!!

Looks ok. It will be something like Wishbone/Topmount/Track Rod/ARB etc that will have taken the force and bent.

I stuffed mine into a traffic island crossmember first once. Didn't bend anything, just bashed it and took a chunk out of the gearbox...
