Hehe. Ermm, looking at the front, you mean like this: / \ or like this \ / ?

[CAL99vts]

wheel alignment or trackin could be out??

[DREAMER]

\ / but just drivers side changed wishbone as that was bent

[Toad]

Unusual that one. Often it's the other way, as excessive lowering causes a lot of negative camber. You've got positive camber, and a lot of it!

Hmm... Sounds like something is bent. Is this on both front wheels? Back wheels? What car is it even??

[DREAMER]

1.6 vtr 2001 just drivers side front.

[Toad]

So is this a result of changing the wishbone, or was it like that already? Has the car had a knock?

[DREAMER]

its had a knock (write off) and the wishbone was bent so i replaced it and its still like it.

[tom187]

Have you been getting excessive wear on your tyres?

Do you have to hold the steering wheel out of position to be straight?

Could be tracking, cambre or geometry or something along those lines.

Go down qwik-fit tbh mate

TO be honest stay away from Quick shit fitters!

Get yourself to a reasonable garage and explain your problem,

You say its been smashed, Ok wishbone u replaced, Was there shock absorber damage? Are you sure the track rod end hasnt bent?

[gibs-rallye]

u say it was a write off. ur strut tops arent bent are they. the bit where suspension bolts to at the top u can see it under the bonnet

[Rosco906]

^^ you'd feel that when driving, easy way to check is get the car jacked up on the front,

whip 2 axle stands under it and grab the wheel at 12 and 6 and give it a rock and try feel for play, same at 3 and 9.

[DREAMER]

it isnt moveable at the minute let alone drivable.

[DREAMER]

anyone??

[Toad]

It's obviously bust. Something will be bent out of shape. You'll need to give it a proper looking over.

[DREAMER]

thanks toad that was totally obvious i cant see owt though lol

[Rosco906]

u said uve not moved the car, have u driven it since fixing the wishbone?

It may be with you having the car jacked up and thats it

Unless its horendous lol

[DREAMER]

no i havent driven it pushed it and its like it

[Rosco906]

best thing is to jack the car up and check everything for play and see if anythings bent

[Rosco906]

ignore double post
