If you’re looking for Volvo truck repair Leeds, this case study shows how we safely restored a severely damaged Volvo following a major front-end impact.

This Volvo arrived at Big Truck Repairs following a major impact to the right-hand front, with damage far more severe than a standard body repair. The force of the collision was significant enough to affect both the suspension and steering systems, requiring detailed structural and mechanical assessment.

Severe Impact & Structural Damage

On inspection, it became clear that the impact had sheared the front axle from its mounting, a serious failure that posed major safety concerns. In addition, the damage extended to the steering system, meaning a new steering box assembly was required to restore safe and accurate vehicle control.

Chassis Straightening & Mechanical Repairs

Before any components were replaced, the chassis was fully checked and straightened using our specialist equipment to ensure the vehicle’s structural integrity was returned to manufacturer specification. Once confirmed square, our technicians carried out the necessary mechanical repairs, including suspension components, axle mounting, and steering system replacement.

In-House ADAS Recalibration

With all repairs complete, the Volvo then underwent a full ADAS recalibration, carried out entirely in-house by our trained specialists. This ensured all driver-assistance and safety systems were functioning correctly and accurately—an essential final step on modern commercial vehicles.

Back to Full Strength

Thanks to our combined body, chassis, mechanical, and ADAS capabilities, this Volvo was safely returned to the road fully repaired, correctly calibrated, and ready for service once again.

If your truck has suffered major impact damage and requires expert structural repairs and advanced system recalibration, Big Truck Repairs has the facilities, experience, and expertise to handle the job from start to finish.
