scottsoulby Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 driving home from work this morning, ended up trying to turn left and instead went straight on into the curb, wouldnt of taken the car to work if i knew snow was on its way ill have to take it to nissan tommorrow and see what the damage is, might be an insurance job bent the wheel, not that you can tell much by the photo, cracked all the newly painted bumper, and suspension damage pictures: good drivers side: passenger side (damaged) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zee Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Oh dear sorry to hear that mate. I did the the same thing in my corsa many moons ago in the ice, turned into a junction and it just kept going straight on and into a kerb which I hit with my wheels at an angle. I ended up driving up the road with the steering wheel in full lock but the car was going in a straight line. I think it cost me about a grand to fix! Your passenger side wheel looks like its sitting quite far back!? Has it cracked your alloy too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsoulby Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 i think the sitting far back bits the problem, im not sure if its cracked the wheel or not, its a bit dirty to tell, its just bent around the rim as far as i can tell at the moment, hopefully it will just be a wishbone and track rod end, alex can sort me out with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadwick Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 when i done it in the s2k it was just the wishbone and trackrod end i had to replace , honda wanted 311 for the wishbone so i tryed a breakers and managed to get a 2nd hand wishbone for 120 , got the track rodend from a local auto patrs store for 40quid and my m8 owns a garage so all in it cost me 160 , so not to bad i hope yours turns out to be better than you think m8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsoulby Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 I'm protected so I think that's the way I'll go, I might try and be cheeky and get a few upgrades while at it, I'll see what they say in the morning and ring insurance if it's going to cost more that £400 which is my excess, which undoubtably it will, hopefully it will get fixed quick enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shire350Z Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 im protected to and they said you can have two claims within the year and it wont effect your premium the following year i find this hard to believe! any1 done this and seen if the premium hasnt been effected the following year?

Shaun1982 Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Im with shire there,i have heard that although thats what they tell you,it still goes up.
