Safe or not

Just about to get my 850 estate back from the repairers after a non fault collision.

the front wing was damaged as was the steering/suspension

amongst other things, the shocker, hub, steering knuckle, wheel and tyre have been replaced.

I made the point to the insurance engineers that should both sides not be replaced - he said no they wouldnt - any brake parts yes but suspension, no.

also my car is fitted with a matching set of P6000 probably about 2/3 worn - they are putting one new P6000 on the new wheel

Is all this safe and will the car handle ok now ??

might handle a bit differently in left vs right hand corners, but shouldnt be *too* bad.

You could always put the odd fronts on the back and the even rears on the front if you're that concerned.
