Have a 2006 Ford Freestar that I believe either went over a pothole or hit the curb and has slight damaged to the passenger rear wheel, upon further inspection the passenger rear wheel leans in at the top. My question is there a control arm that is easily bent or other part that I should be looking at as the culprit and is it easy to fix? I have not climbed under the Van due to noticing prior to dark. Whatever was stuck is so slight that it was not even noticed and yet seem to have sustained some damage beyond the scraped wheel. Any help is appreciated.

 

You need to have an suspension, pre-alignment inspection on a lift. There's no way to tell what the problem is by anyone speculating on possible causes while your tire scrubs away and a possible safety issue exists.

 

Yes, I have it scheduled to go to the shop in the morning. And for sure it would be a safety issue. I just wondering if anyone had similar problems. Because from the slight road rash on the rim and no one even noticing it occurring , I was trying to see if there were any record of this occurring so easily and what others might have had. This Van is near mint , never abused and this incident was so minor it wasn't even noticed while it occurred. Yet the negative camber? is very noticeable upon looking from the rear.

 

When it's that noticable, something must be bent.
