Inspecting Collision Damage (Suspension) -EricTheCarGuy

Visit me at: http://www.ericthecarguy.com/

Inspecting collision damage can be tricky. In this video I inspect the damage from a minor collision with a curb. We're mainly looking at the suspension components as there is little to no body damage but when you drive this car you can tell there's defiantly something wrong. I think it goes without saying that experiences will vary in this situation but this video covers the basics of what to check should your vehicle be in a similar type of collision. If you have doubts consult with a professional as these components are safety related and you don't want to make things worse. Otherwise, jump in and get dirty.

One last thing, I did send it off for an alignment and the steering wheel is not straight and she drives down the road just fine.
