    2012 Audi Q7 hit curb

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Go a 2012 Audi Q7, non air suspension. drove on ice and hit a curb. The drivers wheel is bend at the bottom inwards and outwards at the top.
    thinking it might be a control arm, I replaced the lower and upper control arms, and stabilizer end link. nothing at all the wheel looks still off, if your looking down the side the wheel sticks out at the top.
    the only other thing that I could be is the Spindle ? I have attached some pictures, any help is appreciated.

    Sorry. You are correct. The tie rod in these cars is lower. Did you look at that?

    Did you take it in for alignment? That should always be done when replacing the parts you did.

    I tried to adjust the camber, the wheel moved out maybe 1/4 inch if that, but not enough, I do have a new tie rod, I will put it on in a bit today.
    ill have to see if there is any Audi Q7 at the junkyard so I can pull a spindle/wheel hub assembly.

    just wanted to update:

    it ended up being the spindle that was bent, got a used one and got the car aligned and runs like it needs to be.
