...was hit hard. That chassis (just behind the steering rod) didn’t bend itself! Front offside (RHD remember) of a LR D4.

My mother is not happy but she does insist on taking the thing off road!!

Now we remember what she hit. Or more correctly what she missed. She missed the cattle grid at the entrance to my uncle’s place about a year ago. Fell  off one side of it and it is made of railway track...she had her hand broken as a result because she had her thumb inside the steering wheel when it span under impact. Clearly no-one though to check underneath (or knew what they were looking at if they did).

Nope. Where the lower control arm meets chassis. That nut is supposed to be hidden by the chassis itself. The flange protecting has been partially torn off and twisted around. And if that's the only damage I'll be surprised... chassis alignment can be a bitch.

I’m not convinced that the techs will have the easiest time removing that control arm...
