URGENT! What should I do??
Please read this and give me any input you have, thanks!
Alright, as some of you know, I got hit by a motorhome about a month ago. My whoel drivers side was pretty badly messed up. They decided it wasn't totalled, and fixed it. I got it back today and it looks great and everything appears to be fine, it drives good and stuff. So then I decide to try taking a few hard corners...take a hard left, everything is fine. Take a hard right and the left rear wheel scarpes against the fender very BADLY.
I dont even have to turn that hard or hit a very big bump and it scrapes. I have kyb agx's, with eibach sportline springs, and it NEVER used to scrape, and thats with pretty hard driving. I am taking it back to the body shoip to get it fixed the rest of the way. What do you guys think the possible problem could be? Dead shock? Bent tie rod? ANY ideas?? Thanks a lot!!

Something in the suspension is likely bent. The body shop should have the car aligned to verify this. If it cannot be aligned within factory spec, something is bent and the insurance should cover this.

This is a job that the shops alignment machine needs time with. The car has been on the frame rack-I assume - so it can only be bent suspension pieces. OR it could be that the frame was not fully checked. Good luck
yea, well they assured me that frame is fine and that all the alignment is in spec, therefor it has to be a suspension piece. I talked to him agian last night and he told me that they've narrowed it down to a ball joint/tie rod/control arm. I just wnt my car back
