Rear Ended (Ooerr) & Steering Alignment

[Chris Jay]

Well, unfortunately today In the car whilst stationary waiting for oncoming traffic to clear I was rear ended quite hard on the nearside.

Although the car was drivable the short distance home after the accident I noticed the steering wheel was not sat level when driving in a straight line.

What do we think chaps? Twisted chassis/write off?

When you say nearside, did the other car actually hit the wheel?

If yes, then probably not and just needs some new arms/alignment, however if they didn't hit the wheel that suggests twisted chassis or boot floor etc.

What car?

No impact directly to the wheels at the front, the rear of the car & bumper took the full force of the crash. I was stationary with the footbrake on at the time. (Mk 8 Fiesta by the way).
