    note also that there is half the bush missing mate we hit the kirb at a fair rate square on it tore the bush in half and pulled through. the washer you are talking about is wedged in the tie bar mount in a cone shape

    it also bent the bottom arm which had been strengthened with 3mm plate in half and pulled the mounting point nearly half a foot back under the sill

    the drive shaft the long side is also bent at a 60-70 degree angle and they were brand new m tech motorsport conversion shafts!

    thats just how hard we hit

    Just looked at the pics, fook me
    What a shame to see it like that

    As already said, you probably wouldn't be here telling us what happened if cage/harnesses etc hadn't been fitted.
