With the snow and ice around on the roads at the moment, my Focus skidded on ice and hit a curb (front on).

Steering seems to be a bit off so I've taken it to the garage who have advised that I need the following fixed:

Lower Arm

Track Rod End

2 Rear Tie Rods

Rear Anti Roll Bar drop link

A bit strange as to why the rear has a problem but can anyone tell me if the above list looks feasible or am I being taken for a ride..?

Cheers.

    Looks as though the 'rear' problems were general wear and tear and not caused by the shock of impact.
