Hi people

The other day i hit a log in the road which caused my rim and tyre to burst. Having replaced rim and tyre the car now seems to drive straight but with steering wheel not in a straight position. Went to get the 4 wheel alignment done and they said the camber was badly out on the passenger side front and have taken the car to a ford dealer to get it looked at to which they replied they cannot see any damage underneath and its about replacing every steering component which equals alot of money. I really dont want to go through insurance as my excess is high any advice on what it could be? wishbone is straight and so are track rod ends was maybe looking at the shock itself could this get bent many thanks

 

Have seen one bend on a Mk1 focus it takes some force to do it though, which way was the camber positive or negative???

 

camber is negative by 2.14 also dont know if i mentioned it in the first post but the wheel sits more up into the arch.

 

sorted shock absorber was bent

 

Blloming heck matey, did you check the whisbones etc while you was there, wouoldof imagined youll of damaged them at the same time.

Just re-read you post ignore me, lol, glad youve got it sorted.

 

Lift Of And Reposition S/wheel!!!!!!!!!------------then Forget-

 

i smacked the crub side on in my 53 plate focus bent everything i mean everything all that was salvageble was the caliper, and my bk strut is still bent of the shock still need to replace it as the car is higher on the bk passenger side. i hit the front passenger side lol thats all thats left to replace the rear strut and ud neva no lol
