kurbed my car

[powell09]

just kurbed my micra driving home and pretty much hit it straight on whilst aquaplaning so trying to steer away my wheels hit at an angle
left wheel got a bit of a flat spot anyone know how much it will cost to get this replaced??
or how much more it will be if i've knocked my alignment??

A realignment could be maybe £20-£30 pound. The damage you could have caused could be quite extensive.

like what?

 

[joesouthgate]

bent wishbone, axle etc

 

[powell09]

i don't think it's that bad?
it doesn't pull majorly to one side or anythin
steering wheel shakes a bit but i guess thats from it hitting a flat spot every one turn of the front left wheel?
so how much we talkin if it is worst case scenario?

 

[joesouthgate]

which wheel was it you hit?

 

[powell09]

front left took most of it i think...no apparent damage to right...

 

[joesouthgate]

well hopefully just wheel balance and tracking needs doing then.

 

[powell09]

alright cheers for your help

A wishbone isn't expensive, if you do it yourself.

tracking and balance - £30 + £30 =£60

or worst case you need wishbone aswell is another £50 max if do yourself.

btw check your happy with the tracking after its done, if you drive up the road and your steering isnt straight when your going straight then take it back to be straightened again.
ive had this before, some people just aint as good as others, comes down to experience

Balancing £30!! 1 Wheel balance should cost you between 0 and £5!
