So yesterday going home my car under steered around a corner on the wet road. The front mag smashed the pavement and the back wheels then followed.
The front wheel is bent backwards, front bumper clips broken, back left wheel bent upwards, mags damaged, wheels badly damaged.
I am jacking the car up tomorrow to asses the damage and decide from there if I should repair it myself and keep my record clean, or if I should just claim.
What I know thus far.
Mags need repair
Tyres will need replacing, but usable
I suspect the front shock is gone (considering the angle of the wheel)
Control arms need replacing, along with the back ones.
power steering rack end/rod on the left is BADLY bent, so not sure if I should replace the whole thing or if I can just replace the rod.
Will check tomorrow what needs be done.
That all being said. I am very happy that I am fine, the car didn't flip over and that there wasn't another car near me![Thumbs]( "Thumbs")
