22-10-2017, 05:53 AM #1Lost the back end on the car this morning whilst turning into my street and although I was going really slowly the car didnt stop in time and my rear right wheel hit the kirb. I've damaged the alloy quite badly but everything else looks straight. Is there any chance I could have done any other damage if so what could be damaged?

If it was really slow I doubt it would have done a lot of damage other than probably knocking the geo out. Wouldn't hurt to have it checked over though.
