Bent suspension arms/Hub?

Postby B_giB » Mon Apr 30, 2012 12:04 pm

I recently had someone crash into my right rear wheel of the Altezza. Damaged wheel, a bit of panel and paint etc.

Dropped to The Panel Beater for them to sort everything.

Mechanic the PB took it to cleared everything straight and sent it down the road for a Wheel Alignment.

Now I get the car back, and it isn't driving straight, So I take it to my friends shop for an Alignment and the rear eccentric toe bolt is sitting ON TOP OF the bracket! which makes me think something is bent.

I am taking the car back to the PB on Thursday for them to sort.

Anyone had experience with bent rear hubs or arms? Just to give someone an idea what to look out for.
