SilverSoop Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 i will post pics and il try and get it in a garage with a jig, apparently everything's as it should be but they cant say what the problem is??????????? Is the wheel on straight or does is the wheel/alloy bent?? You could have easily just knocked the wheel alignment out, when you drive, is the steering wheel straight as if not, then this could be all you have done. At what speed and angle did you hit the rear wheel?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 You say the "wheel wobbles when you drive": can you demonstrate the problem to a garage, i.e. you drive it around their forecourt/car park whilst they watch? Some friendly but firm advice: for goodness sake take it easy until you get used to the car, especially if it's wet and you're cornering.

supra joe Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 was only doing 25mph, was going to work and it started lashing it down going in to a right hand bend then the back end went and i slid in to a taxi and went backwards up a kurb and in to a fence! apparently the wheels fine apart from a dint on the inside. but the brake disk is lined up with the alloy? trying to get it in a bodyshop today.

Ace Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Some friendly but firm advice: for goodness sake take it easy until you get used to the car, especially if it's wet and you're cornering. Splendid advice. I thought the FWD-4WD step I took with the GTO was a learning curve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
