Dear Brickboarders,

I've been looking for a 245 for a while and I noticed this ad [http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/cto/1267434390.html] which describes a situation where a well-maintained car was driven over a kerb, denting the rims and bending the control arms.

Replacing the control arms seems doable and relatively cheap. What I was wondering though, is there anything else that's likely/possibly bent in such a kerb encounter, and how would I check/test for that?

Thanks for your insights!

Cheers,

- Matt
