hit a stupid pot hole

Post by tboothe33 »

2007 XC70 - hit a stupid pot hole last week. Now the rear drivers side of the car is much lower than the passenger side. Do I need new shocks? Can someone point me to a link on how to do it?

thanks.

You may want to loosen the wheel lugs, raise the front of the car, place it on jack stand, remove the front wheels, and look closely at knuckle and above.

A goood place to start is coil and sway bar end link.

I really think its the rear suspension. Why would I want to check the front? Just wondering.
