Default Hit a Pothole... need help

The Story
6:30 this morning i was driving from home to school, and came around a big turn. Some douche was half way in my lane so i drove over the white fog strip and just as i glanced down. BOOM. Big *** pothole engulfed my front passenger side wheel.

The Problem
Obviously you can expect the wheel to be somewhat damaged. And it is slightly bent. But the thing that gets me is when i turn to the right, 90 degree turns or more, the car clicks in the back passenger side of the car.

I appreciate any ideas that you throw at me. Im deffinately going back there on my way back home and taking pictures of the monster hole, and getting money from the state. F Michigan roads

i have hit a pothole the same way with my car, i dont know if i have a bent wheel or what, my whole steering wheel shakes tho.


is all you get is a click? if so it definately sounds like cv. maybe its ur ears playing tricks on u thinking it is the rear?

good luck with that

Yeah I think it's probably your ears playing tricks. If you hit with your front passenger side wheel it would most likely be that wheel that's damaged

Check the CV joint like the others said. That's usually what causes clicking.

Noises that sound like they're form the back, tend to be from the front and visaversa
