hi all, advice on collision with tree please...
hit it first with corner of front bumper, thats bent right back under the drivers side wing, then i think it caught me wheel, now as far as i can see the only problems/changes are that the steering rod is bent right out of place beyond straightening, the radius arm has gone so far up when it hit it that it has taken a small scratch out of the chassis (now back in normal position), and the tyre now rubs the arch at some angles, where it didnt at all before, the wing just between the front door and wheel has been hit by the wheel and slightly bent in. i drove it home at about two miles an hour with both front wheels pointing well away from each other! and both were turning fine, not wobbling at all or any sign of being buckled. if anyone has experienced anything similar, or thinks that there might be something more i need to repair other than new steering arms, panhard rod and bumper, than please advise.
thanks - Will
