That's got to be the least coherent message this year!

Sorry, I can't speak your language. Try posting this in uk.rec.chav. .They might be able to understand you.

I cut and paste your text into the Babelfish website but it struggled to translate it into English.

Anyway I grabbed the nearest Burberry wearing youth off the street and he reckons that you have bent your left track control arm, sometimes known as the wishbone. It should cost about £20 for a new part plus labour if you can't fit it yourself. The tracking will need checking afterwards.

I'll repeat the need for checking/adjusting tracking after wishbone replacement. I had both wishbones done in October, tyres were fine. Now just 3 or so months later, I have a practically bald inside edge of drivers side tyre requiring both to be replaced and tracking adjusted - total cost I'm expecting to be about £100.

My fault because I knew I should have got it checked after it was done, but never got around to it.

Please learn to write properly. As you can see, most people do not think that "txt spk" is acceptable use of our language - it's just lazy.

I'd like to help you but the meaningless drivel you posted means f*ck all to me.

Would you like to try that again in English?

If the original problem was hitting a kerb hard enough to bend the wishbone then I think the tyre structure/sidewall needs checking and the wheel should be checked for dents (steel) or cracks (alloy) as well.

i propper dont now your talk bro. can u tork my tork pleez bro?

English? Hard of it?

And yes I *did* mean Hard - sort of an 8.30 Sunday attempt at humour... :)
