I was hit head on by a drunk driver late last night. Thank god for my ARB bull bar.
The truck was idling and functioning perfectly at the scene (obviously I wasn’t driving around much). The cops looked at it and said it was up to me to report to insurance but they probably wouldn’t. Anyways I started driving away and realized my alignment was off... understandable. But then upon further inspection the front left wheel has been shoved back. It now rubs when turning left.
The frame doesn’t seem bent from what I can tell. But looking at the springs, it looks angled on the driver side and passenger side it looks normal. So it does seem like things have been pushed back.
How bad can this be? I’m sitting in a parking lot waiting for an alignment shop to open, I hired I’d post to get an idea of where I might stand. Alignment won’t fix this whee issue at all correct? What am I in for here? I figure this means I should definitely contact insurance?
You can see the difference passenger side to driver side.
