What can cause wheel to sit bent?

Car was involved in a bump where the wheel hit the kerb. The wheel is now sitting bent. What is the damage most likely to be. I know you wont till you have had a look but just wanting an idea

 

back or front...either way,get under and have a look.

 

Bent Wishbone, Steering Arm, suspension strut, subframe, the wheel itself or even hub maybe.


All depends on how hard it hit.

 

If its front the weakest parts are wishbone and strut mounting points(to the hub)

 

Wishbones and driveshafts are too easy to bend, as are rear beams.

 

ive been sideways into a kerb!!
Wishbone and hub every time!

 

was wishbone n driveshaft

 

Ding ding ding ding ding!

 

thought i would have been the only one on at this time lol

 

"a bump"

This thread is useless without pictures:

 

Oh dear, this just gets worse and worse.

 

Is that the 'minter' that's for sale?

 

I think its the one that was sold with EssThree's dyno plots. Also requires a VIC check by the looks of the other thread.

 

He must have really high kerbs up around his way

 

bit of t-cut and it'll be as good as new

Shocking story this one - doode you have been properly busted by the CGTI crime squad
