You ave probably f**ked the wheel and the rear beam its likely to be a costly repair.. you need to remove rear wheel and look to see whats bent as it will all need replacing..

what is the rear beam sorry i am not very good with cars i know the alloy is not f**ked as it only has small mark on it where it hit curb i never bit it at alot of speed but it did give a bang

Post by: mcgee9t2 on 30 November 2010, 21:40: could be a few things.

my mate did a simelar thing and he bent and snaped parts of the wheel hubs on his car. cost him around £100 i think to replace it maybe more not sure.

also could have bent the axel which im guessing is what tech means when he says the rear beam?

though could be a few things.

good luck with getting it back on the road bud

Have been looking around to try and show you what parts and photos that you will see when you take the wheel off.
i hope this helps as this is what the rear axle should look like.
