Nephew has a Renault Megane 2.0 hatch 1998. While driving down a narrow country lane he said a car came at speed the other way and forced him into the grass verge and he tumbled down into a ditch clobbering the n/s suspension. Recovery truck brought the car back. I've had a quick look and the n/s suspension leg is no longer connected to the wishbone. It's sheered off the 2 bolts that hold the bottom suspension leg (via the bottom balljoint) to the wishbone and the driveshaft was pulled out of the gearbox. The driveshaft doesn't look bent but as it moved back with the suspension leg it hit and bent one of the other control arms which connect the wishbone to the (I think) chassis.
The steering rack / track rods etc don't appear bent or damaged so I'm wondering if it's a question of replacing the bent arm and bolting the suspension leg back to the wishbone and take it to a garage to have a proper look and check the tracking?
