Be thankful nothing else decided to bend along with it, I'd recommend getting a wheel alignment as well as it sounds like you hit the kerb pretty hard? |
Wow never knew about that law. I mean, it's logical ofcourse, but didn't know it was an actual law.

Anyone got a link to this actual law?
Curious what 'the same' is in the eyes of the law... |

Is that an immediate yellow or a contributing item? |

Ok, so it seems the "fronts must be same/rears must be same" is a bit of a fallacy.
