Driving through Delamere Forest very early Saturday morning, came over a dip and hit a flood across the road at 50mph - quite frightening for a second - fortunately my wheels were straight, otherwise I might have ended up in a ditch.
First light I went to check that all was OK - found front passenger side wheel arch lining buckled - managed to fix it OK. Then found jack point same side had been ripped off the car, leaving a gaping hole. Later that day doing 70mph on M56, something very large and metalic hit the windscreen - result a 6 inch crack that is edging further north!!!
Question - from hitting the lake in the road at such a speed, does anyone think I should get the wheel alignment checked ?, I dont want to wear the Conti's unevenly !
