    I slid in the snow last year and bumped into a curb head on with the passenger side wheel, the car has not been used for a long time and after fitting new cam belt etc. the garage told me the passenger wheel was sitting back a whole 1 inch more than the good side , denoting possible bent bottom arm, but what arm do i replace or both?.. as no visible signs are there he said, appart from wheel sitting too far back and obvious pulling to one side .

    I suspect the Guide Link is bent. Look at the bushes on the Track Control Arm. Are the bushes under stress or split. You may have to replace both bottom arms. Regards Peter
