rear setup is a trailing arm setup.  Rear is normally reliable, so ask a breaker on here for rear parts.

glad you seem ok

Right. This morning I dived into the broken bits...
How the car looked;



I'm not sure if it's luck more than judgement, but the front end seems completly fine, apart from needing a little tweek on the tracking.
On my coilovers, there is a camber adjustment, this seems to have budged, tking the majority of the impact shock, meaning the wishbone *appears* to be straight.

Luckily there was no damage to the strut;




The rear, however, doesn't seem to have faired so well!:(

This is with the car slightly jacked up;



It's well out of shape.
By my reckoning, the rear trailing arm needs to be replaced, along with the tierod, which is bent;



Luckily, the rear coilover seems to have just flexed and i've got away with it;



The only thing that is a little worrying, is that somehow, i managed to snap the rear caliper clean off its attachment lugs?!



The most upsetting (read most expensive) bit is the wheels...




 

I'm still smiling!

The Omega has a semi-trailing arm rear suspension.

In the last two the differential is removed.

Cheers. I think all i have to replace is pretty easy. Rear arms, etc.
