  2. N2KHL
    to be fair to the garage they havent charged me for anything so far these were all suggestions on what could need replacing but what has been confirmed it a problem with the subframe. Now that ive opted for the insurance route i dont car how much gets charged so long as they : 1. dont write off the car 2. fix the problem i think im gonna have a stress free day tommorow and enjoy the last of my hols finally !

    sub frame is twisted and prob need a lot of work on top of that so gave up trying to do it privately and called up the insurance company lol !

    Here is an update. The mechanic said the wishbone looks good no cracks or bending. He has said that the hub is bent so need a new one of those as well as a new wheel bearing and also the abs sensor. Is the IS200 hub a dealer only part ?? Wheel bearing and perhaps the abs sensor may be sourced else where. Im gonna get a call once the parts have been sourced and get the bad news on the price lol.

    nah not in loughborough it was up in hamilton in leicester i guess they dont grit so much up that way. as for the tires the rears are in good nick i been keeping them inflated at 35psi. the car is at the mechanics now i recon ive bent the hub but wont know till i know. Just take it easy on the roads especially with your supercharger ! im lucky at the mo as i too 2 extra weeks off from work just hope im back on the road asap !

    I very much doubt that the wheel itself has bent, at least not on its own, I think that the suspension would bend first under impact before the wheel rim. I think u may be right there ! wont know till tommorow though !

    Just been to see a few people initially nothing looks bent but i have to take the car back tommorow for an in depth inspection. The garage was rather busy! A friend recons that the hub may be bent but wont know till the spare is put on and tested. I hoping that its just the wheel thats got bent but since the wheel rotates in a fixed fashion i guess its got to be worse than that :( just want tommorow to come quick so i know the full extent of the damage!
  12. N2KHL
    will report back after i have some one look at the car tommorow fingers crossed it wont be too heavy on the wallet
  13. N2KHL
    i dont think it waddled as such i think its in a fixed position although u r right it will shred that tire real quick !
  14. N2KHL
    the alloy does look ok except for the kerb mark where it got slammed into the kerb. Remember the car slid around almost 360 degrees so there was quite an impact! gonna get some one to check it over tommorow i was hoping i had only kicked out the wheel alinement but i guess it is looking more like part of the suspension is bent. At least it still kinda drives lol

    hey guys bad news for me i lost control of my is200 at a roundabout doing no more than 20-25mph. I blame the weather ! I didnt hit anything but part of the curb as the car spun round and it looks like my rear left side wheel is bent. Not sure if its just the rim im have a horrible feeling its messed up the suspension. Managed to drive it home at 20mph as any more made the car wanna swing out again and the steering wheel was all at the wrong angle to keep it straight :( Any one wanna help me guess what i may need fixing ?
