Unhappy bent wheel in the front

Im a aggressive driver who works in the city always trying to get through traffic and goin 20 over speedlimit most of the times and
about 4-5 months ago some idiot cut me off and my wheel hit the divider while i was goin about 45-55mph and noticed the drive quality had changed so i went to my local bodyshop and they had told me the wheel was bent inward. so i asked if it was okay to drive with it for a few weeks and he said i would'nt have any major problems so from then on i really didnt bother to change or buy new wheels and totally forgot about it and i kept driving aggressive. it has been bout 5 months and the driving quality has changed termendously within the year i had bought it. my brakes are squeeking even louder then at first and whenever i brake from 35-15mph my steering wheel would rumble like its goin offroad. now im really concerned if my suspension,brakes or any other thing related or connected with the wheel had been damaged. plz, can anyone help me?

Sure, I can help:

1) Hand your license over to your local authorities.
2) Ride the bus.


It sounds like you have no respect for anyone else on the road. You fucked up and now you're paying the price.

its possible to bend a control arm from a hard impact. that could possibly be it, just have it checked out by your dealer.

I don't know what you need to do about your wheel, but damn son, you have to start using a period or a comma in your posts. That makes it so much better for the reader when you do the reader a courtesy by putting in a comma or period so they don't have to keep reading and reading without a coherent break or with any regard to logic because you are too busy speeding and driving aggressively to learn the English language. Ya dig?

Re: bent wheel in the front

Sounds like you screwed up your suspension even more by not fixing your car. Your front tires are probably way out of alignment. Have the dealer fix it.

PS: It will cost you a bundle.

you have warped a (maybe both) front rotors. have them resurfaced at the dealer.

I think the guy at the wheel shop thought that you would be driving normally after he gave his advice.

Anyway, why drive aggressively if your car is in the state that it's in? Pretty dumb move IMO.

ok..ok..i mite have been overexaggerating on how "aggressive" i've been driving hehe

anyways went to the dealer today and they told me everything was fine except the alignment had been a little off and the front left rim was dented inward about an inch. i orderd a rim over ebay so everything should be fine.

therefor i shall hand down my v6 killer to my sister and upgrade to a G-35 in two weeks

So you are going from a V6 killer (TSX) to a victim-to-be (G35 has a V6)?

Does anybody make V4s? I know about V-twins in bikes, but that's another story.

A V4 would be a horibly unbalanced engine. I think I have only seen flat fours and inline fours.
