Same thing happened to me, only I broke my steering rack.

 

yup i would say the same thing too, you bent the lower control rod, have them check the aliment after they fix it... check your caster make sure it ok, caster will also tell you if you 1,bent the crossmember 2.the body aka the frame..you got to love unibodys argghhh

 

Update:
--------

Got it fixed.

Cost me $889 Canadian owned.gif

Turns out I needed a new KYB GR2 strut, spindle, and (drum roll,...) New wheel bearing !!

Well, im glad it's fixed, and thought I would update in case someone wanted to use the search feature in the future for the same problem smile.gif

Thanks for your replies guys!

About 6 inches around the lip of the rim is messed up Vic.

At least the spokes are in good shape, I am soooo glad I went with forged rims.

 

damn.. sorry to hear..
you gonna get the rims refinished?

 

Um, jumping in a bit here: I did a similar thing to my UK Gen 1 Tib recently, knocked it into a roundabout at a fairly low speed (< 30 mph) in the wet. Unfortunately, I hit the front offside wheel first (not quite side on, but close), spun the car round so that the front nearside hit the roundabout kerb, dragged the car up onto the roundabout, spinning it further, then up onto the back nearside wheel.

I had the tracking, geometry and susp mounts checked, and they all came back fine. However, I now get a clonk-clonk-clonk noise at about 35mph, and very noticeable at 60mph+. The noise gets worse then steering left or right , and appears to be coming from the front offside wheel (i.e. the wheel I hit the roundabout with).

So, how screwed am I?

That sounds like a CV joint in the axle... Not too screwed, but would require a new axle
