my car got hit by a bast*rd and he left, i didnt think much of it cos i just thought it was the bumper damage, but found out that the steering wheel is pointing right when going stright, then i noticed the rear wheel is bent /---- :( gonna cost a lot thru insurance, damn pikey......what is on the rear of the corsa that can caught the rear wheel bending? i have a full thread on it...i think the hub is bent?

A mate just hit a curb in a 2003 sxi at about 15mph. Getting fixed by vaux at the moment at a charge of £600. He is very sad!

when i had a bump & fook the passenger side up, needed jiggin & stuff, but only cost me £300 inc parts & all (new wing, bumper, headlight, wishbone)

Same problem on my corsa when it was bought, had to be jigged 3 times and wishbone had to be replaced.

As Drew said it will probably have been towed on a spec lift, that ifts the front two wheels up and leaves the back two on the road.

Thats probably why he had trouble, if the front two wheels are out of line it will be awkward to get on the lift.

aa - rac can tww a car without the front wheels on the floor :) hense needing to be under splitter

i dont know how it was towed btw

well from what he said he was towed

I done this and replaced it myself, safe as fuck man:D:P

haven't a clue, he just said its going to need a new stub axel and a new wheel (which i'm supplying)

I was doing about 10mph, hit some ice and couldn't turn at all, or brake, then twatted the biggest kerb i've ever seen. Like i said, it couldn't be driven away, and the AA bloke had difficulties getting the towing stuff under the splitter

cant see a car needing to get 'jigged' if ya hit a kerb - unless ya hit it damnnnnnnnnnnn fast

If they have quoted £490 the it might not just be the wishbone thinggy but the whole susspension leg or summat. The car doesn't need to go on the jig if it's just supension damage unless it bent the chasiss leg.

Greg12v - lol

what does that involve? Re jigging?

no car, bummer. thats what you get not living near twells vauxhall......UK's number 1 three years running. (plug)

:thumbs: but will not be cheap as i say, re jigging a car mate

Do u reckon most of the cost is labour?

Having it picked up and taken to Perrys in Preston as i trust them to do it, plus they will do it cheaper.

It happened on Wednesday, was towed to Hartwell Vauxhall the same day, but they only looked at it yesterday! All that and no courtesy car! Not happy :(

if its what you say m8ty then ye its not cheap as the car need to be put on a jigg
£490 :look:
your could prob get it cheaper at a smaller place, but thats upto u, i can find out as we have a jigg up at my unit but its not mine, will ask.

sorry, Corsa C

sounds like the front wish bone to me, mate did this in his fezz and paid £60 for it to be fixed

what car?
corsa? stub axle?

Been quoted £490 inc vat to replace and fit the front driver's side stub axle and a 4 wheel alignment. Does this sound right?

Basically, hit a kerb due to ice, and the front drivers side wheel was pushed to the back of the arch, and couldn't be driven away.

Any ideas?
