Is a vauxhall corsa mark 2(52 plate) up to handbrake turns. I know this wears the tyres and stretches the hand brake cable but does it do any more damage? ie to wheel alignment etc
Cheers.

I've maybe done a 15-20 hand brake turns and about half a dozen J turns in my car is this enough to do serious damage?

Yes , you can cause damage to your wheel bearings / torsion bars / wheel rims / hand brake lever / cables / brake shoe`s ( or pads if fitted ) / disc`s or drum`s / and void bushes on the rear axle . this is if you are doing them regular !

No mate it won't do anything to your wheel alignment, but keep a check on your wheel nuts as H/B turns does put stress on these.

it will put excess stress on all bushes and suspension parts and bearings etc so don`t do too many of them, but j turns can cause diff`s to break up due to the sudden backward foreward change of forces - i`ve seen many wrecked gearbox!

you can do all sorts of damage other than what you have said theres the suspension, wishbones, wheel bearings etc etc but hell its a fun way to break a car :-)
