R31 Wheel Alignment

[Mercs]

Hey guys,

Andy again. I am completely clueless here, so please help us out!

I had a crash a few weeks back (3rd day on my Ps, yikes), and ended up in a ditch. After some panelbeating, I took it back on the road and it handled terribly, the steering (still) veers slightly to the left when I take my hands off the wheel, and if the steering wheel is centred, the car veers to the right. I took the thing to get a 4-wheel realignment, but the man said there's no point, because something is out of whack. I CANNOT RECALL what this was! He said the car would need some new parts (something was bent in the rear) before an realignment would work, and the parts cost about $110 and $130, including labour... can anyone think of what these could be, as I'm going to take it down there to get it fixed, but I have no idea what the parts are called!

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

hey mate for starters they are not front and rear adjustable so if they are gonna charge you for the rear they are ripping you off. the front sounds like it will prbably be out since you went in a ditch (if anything to do with suspension damaged it is not worth aligning till the problem is fixed). Not seeing the damage of your car its hard to think of what it could be, when they fix it just check to see if they charge for front and rear alignment or just front because the are no adjustments on the rear of the R31's
