|  Roomster-rear wheel misaligned Had a minor bump at B&Q car park in Manchester. Yesterday noted steering difficulty, and on investigation, saw thgat the nearside rear wheel is mis-aligned by about 1cm. Does anyone know how a nothing bump can cause this? Is it adjustable? I had planned to get the minor body damage repaired w/out insurance claim, but wonder now if that will be wise. Mike |

|  Re: Roomster-rear wheel misaligned I think the only tool that can set the rear alignment on the Fabia platform is a breaker bar, if you get my drift... Unless anyone else knows otherwise, I think it'll be an insurance job because if the rear axle's bent, who knows what else has been damaged???

| Re: Roomster-rear wheel misaligned Sorry to hear it mate - sounds like the rear axle is bent. Best fix is a complete replacement. It's not adjustable. Shims can adjust minor degrees of being out - very fiddly and not as predictable as you'd like> see: http://briskoda.net/forums/technical...ar-axle/98991/ HTH Bas

| Re: Roomster-rear wheel misaligned Rear end of a Roomy is Mk4 Golf. If you have knocked like that you have damaged something badly and what ever is bent will need replaceing |

|  Re: Roomster-rear wheel misaligned Not to contradict the majorities suspicions... But let's try to think positively. Following the weakest link theory,  maybe you only need a stub axle or wheel bearing housing. What trim-line do you have, are you running alloys or could've you bent a steel rim? |
