i blue part is just slightly bent, will it affect my car in any way? handling or wheel allignment?

thnx

[shadou]

no, I've seen worse, hammer usually helps to smack it back right lol

[GIPONU]

oh sweet, just need a second opinion just to be sure.. haha

[r`Geno]

Does your car pull to the left?

Do you hear any unusual noises at different speeds?

No x 2 = No problem

[GIPONU]

i don tthink there are any unusual noises.. dont really pay attention, music is loud. will see tomorow though. car doesnt pull much or at all.. i think so there should be no problem thens.. yay:wave::wave:

[OZ#227]

YES, That's your rear lower control arm mounting point. If it's been moved...YES. It's a problem. Probably take it to a smash repairer, talk to them. :eek: :eek::thumbdwn:

[shadou]

highly doubt it's been moved. Looks like he just bent the frame a little. If you are that paranoid about damage to suspension get a wheel alignment and ask the guys to inspect area of concern due to accident.

[GIPONU]

i doubt its been moved too, cos all i did was kinda bend the blue part abit inwards, u can kinad see it the deformation.. from my view it doesnt look that big just some bent metal, but OZ____ makes me paranoid.. LOL
i'll just go mechanic when i have time and see .llol:(:(

[OZ#227]

That's not his Photo, So U can't see the damage. Fingers crossed, it only scratched the paint.

But, I must say, U guys don't seem to worry about much.
Like the name of this thread "I hit something..LOL" & "If the Frames bent " (Oh my god !) If the frames bent, That's a write-off. It's possible to straighten but not easy to get 100%. Which means your car is bent, it will feel different cornering left to right, than right to left. I know it's only alittle bit. So only alittle bit of difference. But I'm fussy with things like that.

Later. :cool:

ok so here's more pics of my actual car,

doesnt look like much to me... but i dunnoo.lol

[vti_ek9]

i think it's a write off mate...lol

[ekhybrid]

dw its nothing
just get an alignment wen u have time
if its bent
the toe can be adjusted so its at -+0 again

[GIPONU]

ok mechanic sed... (cos i work at a petrol station with a good mechanic)
that theres nothing to be comcerned about and it wouldnt have caused much damage.cos i did say i was going VERY SLOW. and if i was concerned, i coud just get a wheel allingment to see if there was anything wrong.. but if i didnt like the looks of it, i could just raise the car on the machine thingy and smack it back out gently..lols


so, dont think theres anything wrong with it muchh.
but just wonderin, could it be replaced? that lower arm control thingy?
cos when i start my apprentice im gonna work on handling & looks, so hopefully it can be replaced to somethign better and stronger.

it seems like you hit the subframe not ur control arm
yes it can be replaced

[GIPONU]

fo sure its the sub frame?
some guy told me Lower control arm.lols

[shadou]

think he said lower control arm mounting points or something like that.
Told you it was nothing to be really concerned about
