Chappers Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Last night i went out, unnesessarily, because I was bored. I didn't even get to where i wanted to be before i was caught out by a patch of black ice. I lost all control and the car just went straight into the corner of a raised kerb bit, and did this. Pretty gutted, even though the wheels look crap, it's still annoying, specially as i fucked the bottom arm up too. so, don't be a tit like me, drive carefully, specially if you're not driving a shitter around. I'd probably still be crying in bed if i'd been driving my blue one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theresa Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 You'd better get the rest of the suspension checked over as well Chappers. I done that to mine a few weeks ago. My wheel wasn't as bad as yours, but the bottom arm was worse than yours. I also had to replace the hub, strut and driveshaft and have since realised that my subframe's moved over by about 10mm and the chassis leg is slightly bent, so it's off the road at the moment Just make sure you get yours checked over properly, just in case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chappers Posted December 28, 2005 Author Share Posted December 28, 2005 (edited) You'd better get the rest of the suspension checked over as well Chappers. I done that to mine a few weeks ago. My wheel wasn't as bad as yours, but the bottom arm was worse than yours. I think from the look of yours you were going a lot faster with much stronger wheels. Yours did take out the entire suspension and force the wheel against the back of the arch. Everything was intact for mine, i actually drove home with the spare wheel on, although i haven't been for a drive since. My dad's changed the bottom arm over and stuck the back wheel on the front so that the steering is ballanced, we're going to get the tracking redone tomorrow and hopefully all will be well.
