Naughty naughty John! LOL

Targut, can you give us some more information on the problem with your wheel misalignment? Are we talking about wheel clearance from the wheel arch, or a tracking geometry problem?

Turgut, you'll have to excuse JP - he seems to have a funny turn now and again (sorry, John).

Sounds like the repairers did not do their job properly. After any major acident the car should be put on a suitable jig to check all the reference points are in alignment. As you say, you need to go back to the insurers/repairers to get the repair done properly.

This USA problem has been going on for years! I think it happens when you go to change some of the details on your profile - it changes your country to USA.

Turgut, sounds as though you've got a good case against the company who performed your repairs. There is no way that the wheel should be displaced over a centimetre rearward of the wheel arch centre line.

Keep at them, and get this put right: the car's handling could be dangerous in its current condition.

Good luck!
