Does your car pull to the left?

Do you hear any unusual noises at different speeds?

No x 2 = No problem

**GIPONU** · 19-08-2007 09:32 PM

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.

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.

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

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.
