    Front suspension
    I drove into a kurb and bent the alloy wheel on my car. When I changed to put the spare on it would not fit because I think the swing arm is bent back. Please can someone tell me if this can be fixed and if so how much it might cost. Also I don't know the correct terms for the bits I think I have damaged. The car is a peugeot 306 diesel estate v reg
    Cheers for your help

    You bent the steering arm on the steering knuckle (from your description--or you bent the tie rod). No way to fix either of these. They must be replaced. If it's the steering knuckle, find one at a junk yard. If you bent the tie rod, those are cheap enough that you can buy them new. Get the vehicle aligned after you replace the parts.

    If you damaged the outer tie-rod end ($22), here's how you can replace it yourself:
