Hi All

My wife had a little accident in my RRS over the weekend and has hit a Kurb very hard and has caused the wheel to bend in at an angle.

I have had a garage change the lower suspension arm, anti roll bar link, upper arm and the Hub and the problem is still there

Anyone else any ideas???

Is the wheel buckled?
I presume you'll need to get the car properly aligned again too following the fitment of the new parts. ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i
MERCEDES GL350 - Metallic Navy Blue w/Grey interior

GOING: BMW F31 335D MSport+ xDrive Touring
GONE: Land Rover Discovery 4 HSE - Stornaway Grey w/Black Interior (wish we'd kept it )
GONE: BMW F10 520D MSport - Carbon Black
GONE:MY12 RRS SDV6 HSE Sumatra/Ivory/Grand Black Privacy glass

With the wheel off the hub is quite clearly at an angle still compared to the other side with the wheel off.

Wheel is buckled and not been used at all, have been using two other alloys and one side is much out than the other.

Alignment will have to be done but surely the wheel wouldn't be this far out? Would it?

Strange that garage can not fix it (they have a car so they can see what is wrong)

You did not mention steering rack - ?

any damage to frame ?



is it ok

Visually Cannot see anything damaged only option now is 4 wheel alignment tomorrow

as there is no adjustment at the top
(i understand the wheel is either too far in or out on the bottom)

bottom adjustments bolts are now new and free so theoretically
the guys should be able to straighten it by using them (visually at least)

I am afraid the alignment is not going to change it more than garage can
(it would be easier if you have a pic.)

This garage doesn't have the facilities for alignment, this needs to be done by a 4 wheel alignment company via camber caster which will draw the wheel in.

Will find out today how we get on.

Hope it's not an expensive one.

Its already cost me £700 up until now due to needing a new alloy as well as part and labour.

Waiting for the alloy to come in today in order to get the alignment done cant think what else it could be if the alignment doesn't pull it in

How fast was she going when she hit the kerb? Must have been some impact! 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Hope you get it sorted. Make sure you ban the Mrs from driving your sport from now on.

Flipping eck, must've been some wack.
My pals mrs swerved to avoid running a cat over, and demolished the near side alloys, and cracked both offside, they were a Kahn special, cost him another £3.5k!

Any news yet?

She's definitely banned mate this is costing me an arm and a leg!

No news yet recovery got stuck in traffic getting there so the car wont be looked at until tomorrow.
