Crashed my corsa need some help!

Post by matty_09 »

i crashed my car on mon night went into a ditch. After getting the car out with help of a tractor the damage didnt look to bad smashed head light n front grill and big dent in the door. but when trying to drive it away the streering was well out and every time i went over even small bumps in the road the front wheels moved side to side like they were buckled and on corners aswell. my mate who was in the car thinks its the wishbone but when i got home n looked under the car i cant see anythink thats snapped or cracked. does any 1 have any idea what this could be .
thanks from matt.

yup i did exactly the same thing and had 2 get towed out. at least u got it home - mine just gave up the ghost and went into permanant neutral half way home lol. Check the wishbone (these always bend/break on a minor front impact on a corsa) but also take a look at the chassis. When i did it i bent the front chassis memeber which i had 2 get straightened out
