    Car is in workshop for full assessment of the suspension components however I thought I’d post a picture of the control arm, it appears to have warped near where the upright mounts to the forward control arm?

    It’s fixed now, luckily it was just the lower rearward control arm which was bent by about 30deg. Didn’t realise aluminium could bend to much before shattering. Anyhow all other arms were checked and were still in original shape. The suspensions sits 1cm higher on the near side now but that was measured straight after repair, hopefully it settles down to normal.
