Hub, control arm and lower wishbone at a guess

See what's snapped, replace it then take it for tracking.. They will tell you what's wrong there

You were cool and the girls DID love it mate Don't be discouraged by a small error.

To the OP: unlucky mate, hope its not as bad as you fear, fingers crossed

Just had a butchers it looks like the track arm is touching the brake dust plate so I think it might have just bent a hub

hopefully its only the hub thats all i can put it down to i dont think the front has sustained any damage not too sure didnt have time to take the other side off is the trak rod arm meant to have a bend in it it looks like it might have so it sits in the wheel properly but not sure

Drop links have probably gone as well, a simple kerb mounting in my old car resulted in a £3k bill at Honda prices.
That did include £500 or whatever it was for a new wheel from Honda, of course the 'actual' bill was only around £1k.

Well I'm hoping mines not that bad is there anyone around norwich who would be happy to help ie take a wheel off so we can compare parts see what looks normal hopefully it is just the rear hub that's taken the grunt fingers crossed that's all I could see that looked out of place kinda but a slight movement on the track arm I believe can make a lot of difference
