Owain1602 0 Posted February 25, 2007 Hi, on a 307 Estate 2003 that has hit a curb at a fair speed can you work out what has been bent during the impact from these measurements? Specification Camber = 0deg +- 30 mins SAI = 11deg 41mins Included Angle 11deg 41mins +-30mins Measured Values Camber = +1deg SAI = 0deg 40mins What do you say has been bent?

Beastie 1 Posted February 25, 2007 Hi, on a 307 Estate 2003 that has hit a curb at a fair speed can you work out what has been bent during the impact from these measurements?

I'd say it's pretty inconclusive from the evidence presented - particularly as you haven't mentioned the measured included angle. The error in SAI is huge but I must admit that I'm not familiar with the 307 (too modern for me ) It seems likely that the bottom radius arm has been moved backwards by the impact to reduce the SAI. I'd be looking seriously at the location for the longitudinal position of the radius arm. The included angle is unlikely to be affected because of the inherent strength of the steeering head.
