Hey guys,
I was going down a fairly steep hill with windy turns and there was about 2 cms of snow that had just fallen. I was going to fast on the turn and lost control of the car. The vehicle made 180 degree turn and my left rear tire made out with the curb and my front left tire followed after.
The impact was hard enough to scuff up the alloys and it appears my rear suspension beam is bent on the left side causing my left tire looks like \ as opposed to my right tire that looks | . Rims are straight and the car drives normal. The alignment is definitely off on the front as my steering wheel needs to be on the left side to drive straight.
If I replace my rear suspension beam will my left rear tire return to its original position? (Can't do the alignment as its a solid rear axle). I'm hoping the suspension arm isn't damaged on the left side.
How complicated is it to replace these parts?
(This is the beam thats bent)
