Twintt

Hi Guys,


I hit a curb and now my passengeer side wheel is rubbing against my sidewall. Do you guys think it's an alignment problem or something else? thanks

sounds like you bent something very badly. do you have larger aftermarket rims?

no I have stock rims, but i notice that my wheel don't looked center anymore. It's touching the fender so it rubbing the side when I drive. So my questions is will an alignment fixes that problem.
thanks

i doubt its the alignment....

take the rims off...rotate them and see if there is still rubbing....

also check the rims for bents....i think you messed up the part where ur steering is straight but the rims are not pointing in the right direction....or something with the axle...

i remember it happened to me when i got new front camber kit....something went wrong in the install and the steering was off by 10-20degree....when i went for alignment he adjusted it which threw the camber and toe off and then he adjusted the camber and toe....

I also busted my trannyy and had it replace. Do you guys think it has anything to do with the new tranny install. I had 17 on their but it was busted so I went back to my stock rims?
All the other wheel are fine, it just the passenger one. You can just looked at it and see that it rubbing the sidewall/fender. thanks for reply. I hoping that it is an alignment problem.

alignment will not fix bent parts, you are going to have to find out if you bent any suspension components. other than that the fender liner could be hanging too low and rubbing the tire.

can you post a picture so we can better see what the problem is.

also, if you hit a curb hard enough to break the tranny, you most likely bent a bunch of suspension parts, busted the axle, broke the wheel, and bent the frame of the car. i am scratching my head trying to figure out what happened here, i hope the tranny issue is not related to hitting a curb because the car would be... f-ed . need more detail...
