hi guys , i had a small bump last week resulting in a fucked wishbine and anti roll bar link , it caused abit of neg camber. anyway ive repaired the wishbone etc now but i havnt had it tracked or the geometry checked yet , my problem is the handling jus dosent feel right now , could this be down to the tracking and geometry?

i did this on my 172. my bottom arm shifted on the bushes resulting in the wheel sitting closer to the rear of the wheelarch.

check the subframe isnt damaged. i visually checked mine ( against the other side ) and could see no distortion. apparently they twist quite easily.

have you checked the steering arm and the strut to be straight ?

if you see no damage then get it tracked etc. not sure if you removed the strut from the upright but this can cause tracking to be out...

thanks mate, yer i tore the bushes out of the wishbone lol , the subframe seemed ok an i got a second visual opinion which was gd 2, i think il get it tracked and see if that improves things , i hope so coz its puttin me off the car slowly an i realli do like the car

still waiting for my wishbone to arrive.

backorder in france so had to get one through a diff supplier. the it failed to turn up due to the weather.

took a hammer to my old one and knocked the bushes back into place...

hopefully get it sorted later today...
