Default Urgent help needed please!!!!!

Hi all on monday my impreza skidded sideways in some real heavy snow and the rear passenger wheel hit the kurb face on, resulting in the wheel being at an angle. At first i thought i had damaged the wheel, took it off but there was nothing wrong with it. Looked at all the linking bars etc, and there is no sign of damage or creasing to them. Bloke at garage reckons my sub frame MIGHT be bent?????? Surely the link arms would bend before the sub frame??? Could i have damaged the hub????? Anyone with any help be most appreciated. Cheers

If the lateral links are not bent then it must be the hub. I'd have thought that the links would bend long before the hub, but strange things happen in accidents.

Let me know what year model it is, we probably have a good used hub that'll get you going again. From £100.00 + VAT and carriage.

Hub, laterals or subframe, or a combination, the laterals are the weakest link and wouldn't need to be bent by much at all to create an obvious toe in/out.
