Just asking for some advice on what to look for after hitting crash barrier after slide on black ice :(

 

Went through roundabout ok and started to accelerate away on dual carriageway, started to fishtail in 2nd, off throttle and dipped clutch, car settled down, changed up into 3rd let foot off clutch car fishtailed badly, spun me around, slid up carriageway backwards and rear passenger side bumper hit barrier and rotated me . checked car no obvious damage to bumper lights, wheel etc. Car drives fine.

 

Anyone got any ideas of things to look for that are not obvious.

not sure what you are askin, are you thinking that there is a reason you fishtailed????

Erm -10 degress maybe? beeeee careful out there

Hi, I know why I fish tailed, looking for what damage may have happened that I can't see.

ooo haha

well do all the wheels look striaght? does it still drive in a striaight line with steering wheel central?

oh i see, check for wheel allignment, check rear subframe, if driving ok and nothing obvious i would assume there is nothing wrong, if you are concerned, get it up on ramps and have a good look

you will probably have bent some of the brackets behind the bumper at the very least. Personally if it was me, id take the bumper off and see whats been bent

Get the vehicle put up on a ramp or similar, and inspect all the suspension parts. If a TT the Hicas could also be damaged and that would really only be noticeable above 50mph. Its sounds as though you have been lucky but still inspect, just to be safe.

Do you have a picture of the damage, from that we may be able to tell you what's in or around the area of impact.
