Default 4 wheel alignment vs 4wheel plus geometry.. plus where to get done in yorkshire?

ok someone has bashed into me and im going to be replacing the driver side rear trailing arm and shocker..

and maybe the hub if things still look bent.. i doubt that needs replacing though

currently the wheel looks more cambered and closer to the strut

anyway after replacing this must i get the geometry done again or will just 4 wheel allignment suffice? when would the geometry need to be done aagain? as before the bash it was spot on and handled perfect.

all standard sti suspension and arms etc. nothing upgraded.

also whats the going rate?

just got a quote from richard henry local to me, and thats £80 for the 4 wheel allighnment plus another £40 for the geometry to be done aswell.

does that sound right?

cheers

you need to get the whole lot checked really.

Price sounds right ballpark - the machines cost +20k so they have to recoup it. I get it done a bit cheaper normally but i think that's mate's rates. Does it include adjustments (I hope) or is that just to put it on the machine?
