thank god i didnt hit anything or other cars, was one right next to me.

sounds like its guna be the same problem becuase my wheels where at a slight angle.

Will have to see down at the garge,

fingers crossed

Haha, this reminds me of Ry_b. Did you let a girl drive your car?

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) :(

your best bet is to take it to a garage to have it looked over as there are so many different things it could be. even more than one thing.

yes i was i must admit

like i said, stupid thing provoked by a friend

what speed where you doin to cause that damage?

were you speeding before braking heavily by any chance? when i hit a kerb my wishbone had bent causing the wheel to rub also.:o

just hope it's guna be good new's

never ever pulled a stunt like this,

learn from your mistakes i guess

Im gunna have it looked,

don't know shoot about these things but i had a look around under there everything seemed fine just the wheels are a bit out of place and rubbing the side when you do a full lock out.

guna try on the spar tyre see what it's like

when yout going straight seems fine just when you turn it sorta pulls a bit

Braking hard + kerb = bent car :( Get it properly checked if you don't know what you are looking for...

...

BTW im not sure what speed i was doing all i know i was braking very hard

wheels locked, lost control a bit and hit the kerb, which i bounced back from and regained control

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

i think the alloy is benyt out of place

i ahd a look (not a good one) nothing is bent or broken as far as i can see

i will change the wheels tommorow, hopefully its that and the tracking can be sorted

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

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

fixable? lol

You've fucked it. Your car is bent.

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

At first the engine mangment light came on and the car would not go into 1st or second gear. This resolved itself though.

All i can see is that the tyre is a bit bent and hits the side wall when you turn all the way out.

Also the car is pulling to the right when you turn right.

What kind of damage can i expect?
