I know there was someone who posted a problem like this b4, but i cant find that thread. so heres a post to my problem.

i was driving home tonight on local streets. as i was passing an intersection i accidentally was a lil too far to the left and my front left tire bumped/scraped against the curb. *sigh very clumsy of me as i was looking at another car. i did not go over the curb, but i did hear a loud *BAK* sound as i hit it. i pulled over right away to look at any damage that could have been done. there seemed like no damage to my bumper, nor my tires. Only the left rim has some scraping on it, but it was not bent or anything of that matter. sso i thought it was not that bad, just scratched the factory rims. but as im driving home, the steering seems to be different. when the steering wheel is completely straight, it seems to curb to the right a little bit. and the car seems to go straight as the steering wheel is turned a bit to the left. something tells me i may have bent something behind the wheel. =T but just wanted to ask you guys what you think may be the problem right now?

Just wanted to clarify that i hit my left tire against a curb head on. [i.e. there was no curb next to me, it was in front of me and i drove into it at mayb... 10-20 mph] so what mustve happened is that the tire got twisted a bit to the right, therefore resulting in the slight shift to the right. Now what is twisted if anything? and what should i do??

Thanks in advance for all the help everyone...

 

go get it aligned, sounds like you knocked it out of alignment

 

first..check ur tire pressure.......if its good, then u might need a whell alinemant(however u spell it)

 

wheel alignment is just bringning to any shop and they'll align it for me? hopefully there is no other problems. would you know how much an alignment would generally cost? Thanks again... im a bit relieved it wasnt anything big...

 

mannnn i think u was drunk so......errythnag b alrighh....ahahahah

 

if it was anything big you would know...like an axle

 

im guessing if my axle was broken, i wouldve had to take the taxi home huh?
nope i wasnt drunk. was going home from work. LoL but i knoe you are Mr. henieken written in avatar. Thanks for all the help. im taking it to this shop around the block tom mornign to get it re-aligned. hopefully that'll solve the problem.

 

oh...i didnt even ntice u were from ny too
bklyn here!

 

LoL well im all over the place. Queenz, Long Island, Manhattan. Not in Brookyn that much. But NYC here i guess! i think i've seen your TL on the Belt tho...

 

Yep, just about any franchise auto repair place will be able to do your alignment. I just recently brought mine to Sears Auto Center for an alignment after I installed my springs and shocks and the cost was about $55 I think. Not to bad. You can also ask them to take a look under the car and see if there is anything that needs attention.
