Well I havent had my Audi 80 long and dont really know much about them.
Was driving into work on Friday night. A combination of the rain, a smeared windscreen and lights from on coming traffic meant that I did not realise how far towards the middle of the road I was driving and didn't see a traffic island to the last minute. I tried to avoid it, but ran over the curbs at 30 to 35 mph.
The result:
Blown rear tie (big cut in the sidewall) replaced with full size spare.
Front tyre has a gouge in the sidewall
Knackered suspension (knocking from the rear and the front)
Possibly knackered hub / driveshaft.
Knocked headlight out of alignment and its level can no longer be adjusted.
Can you help? I don't know much about the car.
What type of suspension is it?
What should I look for?
What could be causing the knocking noise? Well its more of a bang really
The morning after I took it to a tyre centre. They concentrated at the front of the car and think some thing might be broken inside the hub (bearing or driveshaft)
Thanks in advance for any help
Cheers
Pete
