BAD NEWS FOR ME :-(

manufc4eva · 12-02-2008, 11:10 AM

In the snow this morning and was one of the first out of work so the road was covered. Tapped the brakes and the back end slipped out clippin the kerb at the back. Not that hard i thought, because i enjoyed the little slide. However i then found out it had knocked my right rear axle out of line but with no wheel damage. I couldnt see behind the wheel. will it be costly on a 135i coupe or could something just of knocked out because there is still drive to the wheel? :-(

manufc4eva · 12-02-2008, 12:29 PM

A bit wonky, eh? Have an alignment shop check the toe - hopefully it's not bent suspension bits and can come back into spec cleanly.

Snow is a type of percipitation in the form of crystalline water ice, consisting of a multitude of snowflakes that fall from clouds. The process of percipitation is called snowfall. Since snow is composed of small ice particles, it is a granular material.

There you go! :biggrin:

The wheel might look fine but could be bent. You have no way of knowing until it's removed.
