too fast, too sideways, too much curb....

Post by vwguy »

Had a little incident, hit the passenger side rear wheel pretty hard. Pushed the rear axle to the left a good couple of inches.

Anyone have an idea of what i could be looking at for damages? Im working out of town, and we just got a good dump of snow, so it may be a little before i can get a look at her.

Im really just wondering if its gonna be a rediculous bill if I take it to the shop. Last one i got was for a transmission overhaul, and it was not nice.

likely an easy fix, just bent the panhard rod (lateral link). You can fix it yourself. careful to inspect the mount for damage, that might get a bit pricy to fix properly, but far less than the trans.
