Minor bump
Hi, Im new to this forum and joined after searching the net.
I had a minor bump in my XC60 on Tuesday, a Ford Ka hit me on the off side front. His front bumper hit my wheel and incredibly did not mark the bodywork! Apart from a badly scored alloy there appears to be no other damage. I have booked the car into the garage to check for any damage but I was wondering if anyone could tell me if its likely anything else could be damaged? It was a very light impact, I hardly felt it and the car drives perfectly. |

Suspension, steering bits, bearings.. I'd have them all thoroughly checked.

Well good news, but then still expensive alloy to replace, you having to go through insurance?

I would get a price for repairing or replacing the wheel, on paper, and give the other party a chance to settle in cash. Going through insurance probably has some financial repercussions for both parties even though the blame may lie on one side only.

It is possible that the tracking may have been effected, track rods can get bent and steering geometry can be knocked out with a bump on the wheel, it may be ok but always best to check, alloy wheel also need replacing as a matter of course, it may have stress damage.

Thanks, yes I thought it would be wise to replace the wheel.
