Royaly f*cked.
« on: 19 July 2012, 11:09 »
Hit a lamp post the other night, & since then, the front wheels squeal when he turns right, had a look under the car, definitely isn't the tracking road, and he can't see anything else wrong with it. Nothing looks bent, from what he can see, and he doubts its the wishbone.

Booked it in for him to get it looked at over the weekend, but do any of you lovely fellas have any idea what the f*ck it could be? As much as I love the car, and know a hell of a lot about the damn thing since I got with him, he's getting on my sodding nerves missing his car.

(Loads of you made jokes about the words 'me or the car' when he posted last time, I'm not THAT mean, if I was, I wouldn't offer to wash it while he's not using it  :drool:...)

I'd look at the wishbone first. I've smacked a kerb and it bent like a banana

Gah!

How much is it to replace? And would he be able to do it himself?

I brought a pair of wishbones complete with all mew bushes and balljoints and a pair of anti roll bar bushes for £30 on ebay came from germany . Arrived in 2 days. Fitted myself, nice easy job to be fair. Only hitch i had was one of the old bushes had siezed in really bad but it came out in the end

Why thank you Len :)

So he could basically get it done within a couple of days without a hitch as apposed to spending hundreds, I like this idea!

Thank you :)
