M4RC Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Basically I hit a Kirb earlier pretty hard and my rear wheel is sitting in about 60mm in more than usual, what have I hit or bent? Also when I'm going in a straight line my steering wheels squint? Update: I've been to a mechanic and he recons it could be some sort if pin type thing bent, it. Sits behind the drum or he said worse case it would be a new axel which I would imagine it is as the wheel sits right in, without the 20mm spacers it's not even drivable as it just rubs the lining etc..he also reckons it's just the tracking on the front If anyone has some more knowledge on this please let me know :) Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandyCat Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 You need to get someone to get the car up so they can inspect the underpinnings to see what has been damaged and fix them then get a proper full 4 wheel alignment done. Your rear wheel damage will make the car behave oddly and you shouldn't drive it really as it could be unpredictable in the wet etc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srichar3 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Possibly a bent stub axle have done this before, surprisingly easier than you mighnt think but 60mm does sound a bit excessive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
