Kerb Thump

Postby dave100 » Wed Feb 07, 2007 11:16 am

i recently clipped a kerb while turning right at about 10mph. The car still drives the same but iv noticed that the wheel scuffs slightly when on full lock and its moved back between 5-10mm. Can this be fixed by a wheel alignment or have i bent a suspension arm. if so which one is it likely to be?

Either \ or. Could also be a buckled alloy - I've had a few of them in my time. Best bet is to bring it up to your local wheel \ tyre place to check it out.
