Title: Any idea what might be damaged?
Post by: Lewo on February 07, 2020, 08:09:05 pm

Only just noticed this yesterday or I should say, someone else did.....
bear with my I'm no mechanic and yes I'll take it in some where for them to have a look. Just wondering if any ideas from looking at the pics?
it's damage from the shunt I had couple of months ago, car pulled out and hit nsr door and rear quarter and did scrape the wheel. I was only doing 20mph and the other car was at standstill when it pulled out.
on closer look the nsr wheel is pushed in slightly at the top, there's a bigger gap?

Any thoughts on what cheers?

Was the rear wheel alignment checked by the bodyshop?  Could just be more camber on the NSR as you say.  Easily rectified.

No they didn't as far as I know, I'll dig the quote out and check.
Is the camber adjuster on the trail arm?
