    Could of easily bent a lower arm or the chassis.

    Lower arms on Corsas are plated so I'd expect the shock to of bent the chassis personally. Just get under it and take a look

    the lower arms should bend before damaging the chassis, as there designed to take the damage as not to bend the chassis. but also depeneds on the impact of the crash, angle, speed ect

    as said depends on the position it was hit, most chance it will be lower arm or steering rack bent or just tracking get pics up if u can

    Crikey man !

    Get a jack, look under the car, chassis rails should look identical either side, if one doesn't then you have bent the chassis.

    A guy locally did something in his nova a few weeks back and that had bent the chassis, car has done 30k as well so it was far from a rotten pig, Corsas do run plated TCA's which does mean there is more of a chance that it would bend the chassis with that sort of impact, its a risk you take with those sort of arms.

    I presume you have had it tracked up since all this work ?

    you can mess up your tracking by simply unbolting and then refitting a suspension strut, main things to look at after the accident is for anything that looks bent, if it looks fine then just chuck it in for tracking.

    9/10 nothing's really damaged just tweaked out.

    so you haven't tracked it up and you expect a miracle?

    replacing parts will not put your tracking straight.

    Your original post :

    Surely getting it tracked up would of been the first thing to of done.
