   Some prick pulled out on me last night, and I had to swerve to miss him and hit a curb at a fair speed in doing so.
   
   My drivers side wheel at the front seem's to be set back in the arch so Im susspecting its a bent wishbone or ball joint?
   
   What sort of price are we looking at to get fixed?
   
   Cheer's

   check your top mounts arent bent (chassis) and the rubber part. Also make sure sturut is ok.
   
   Basically you'll want to strip it all down, get a new wishbone compare the new one with your OE one.
   
   But if the wheels back more than it should be in the arch its safe t osay you've bent or broken something.
   
   Make sure you check rear wishbone bush and drop link as well
