Tony Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 This BMW had been involved in a front end accident, after the repair the owner complained of handling issues and a knocking noise from what he thought was (the front). The car went to a second body-shop who couldn't find a problem and then to us. This is the reason for the complaint The rear lower trailing arm is bent, as you can see it's resting on the anti-roll bar so denying the suspensions compression, hence the handling/knocking complaint. I ponder how this can be missed by two other company's and i have to assume it's because the car had a front end impact and all inspections were done on a two poster lift moving the arm away from the ARB?

Rich Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 Shouldn't they have spotted the marks from where the 2 parts have been rubbing, even if it was on a 2 poster so they weren't touching. Do you think it was the accident that caused it then if it was front end damage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted August 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Definitely they should have spotted it.... I would assume the accident caused the bend, who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 i, who knows, what is there not to suggest that putting it on "a" 2 poster could have caused the damage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other side wasn't bent...... Personally i think the cars been jacked on the rod, reason being the damage is to isolated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
