about 20 mph, was raining and went to turn but locked the wheels due to hard breaking and hit the curb with the wheel at an angle...luckily for you it isn't gonna cost £800 to repair it hopefully (i hit a traffic light) :( | |

i got hit from behind on right hand side in an old micra while i was parked up she hit me doing 30 and it looked like my car was twisted and it turned out to be tracking... however the chassie was a bit twisted still passed mot fine tho and drove ok | |

Yea, you could be lucky and it could just be the tracking - but if the tracking is out then why are the wheels rubbing? | |

or go to a tyre center and get the tracking looked at for bout 10 quid... and fixed for 50? | |

Depends on the bit you have bent. Could just be a track rod or it could be the front chassis leg. If it's the latter ther cars probably a write off. Though I would say the most likely things to bend are the wishbones, wheels or track rods. | |

it might be tracking is way out but will have to be a long way out 25 is quiet a shunt on wheels | |

I had a bit of a bump, at around 25 mph which involved hitting the kerb with my front right alloys. |
