Did similar to my vp years ago. More forward direction but, and put the left side wheel against the firewall.

Where abouts are you Mack. If in brisbane I have a vn wreck you can have some parts off really cheap if you need em. Has a fairly new steering rack on it.

I got to agree with Hozy. That struts stub will be bent. At $50 off a wrecker (probably cheaper) you should replace it. If your panhard rods bent check where it mounts to the body. My body was bent good here. With some effort we bashed and levered it back out close to straight. Wheel allignement guy says it alligns fine.

Good luck

Yeah, my mount for the panhard is slightly bent, I can fix that, well I fitted another on how it is and it goes on fine. I dont think there was any bendage to the strut stub because my lower controll arm look all the bending, its crumpled. Ive got a 2nd hand steering rack with new rackends and tie rods etc etc. So all I need to do is put her all back together now. BTW im in hervey bay qld, about 3 hours north of you.

i find mitshibishi's say SMASH ME, the badge is like a target

ive backed into a magna, had one hit me, one hit my mate aswell and recently had a mirage run up his rear end @ 75km/h in a 60 zone with no evidence of braking... he was in a 87 toyota corolla sedan (HOT CAR, 5 speed.. lol)

shoulda seen that thing...

that panhard rod looks like my old one after my smash except worse..
but damn thats a big smash i was lucky enough to roll kinda up the enbankment

i should grab the part number for the short monroe shocks ive got in mine...
im sittin on ultra lows with short shocks and a ajustable panhard rod all with nolathane bushes, converting the sway bar ones now..the spring taps fine even with the wheels off the ground... i saw a ford last night that had super lows and cut 3 coils off..... but yeah gonna grind that bastard off tommorrow so ill get the monroe part number for you so you can see if it is shortened
