possible suspension damage from hitting a rock

Blcoffee · 09-01-2013, 10:31 PM

i was going like 60mph, and i hit a quite big rock. [i have H&R sport springs on]

it was right around the corner, and i coulnt avoid it.

as soon as i hit the rock, my tire went flat instantly.

i pulled over, and there were no visibile cracks to the rims.

however, the tire was flat, and the wheel itself was pushed in a little.

It seemed like i had negative spacers on.[you know what i mean]

I looked around and i found out the connection? to the shocks were bent.

So i am thinking i might have to change the shocks, but will there be any more damage to the suspension?

I'm really worried.

No way to tell without at the very least a picture........bottom line, it'll be hard to tell and you will probably have to take it to a shop.

evochuvk // my car is already in the shop, and i know for sure something is bent. i am looking for some advice before i get the inspection result from the shop which is pretty much guessing. I was just wondering if anybody had similar situation.
