...********:mad: . These are the sounds I heard just before I came to a stop outside a Vauxhall Main Dealer. I get out and find the my front pax wheel has moved forward about 6 inches and rubbed about half an inch of my bumper away!:eek:

I left my car at Mr Vauxhall and await the bad news. Any guesses to whats broken?

Could be the balljoint on the wishbone, when you disconect it you can wave the strut back and forward

if pax is pas as in passenger, and you're just on about roadwheels. then my money is with rog.. the lower control arm balljoint has probably sheered its rivits.. shouldnt be too bad if its that and you didnt drive the car any distance.

well thats the cheaper and easiest out of the options.. so i wouldnt cry too much.. anything else is likely to cost a fair bit more.
