didn't see the little angled curb till too late and my muffler nailed it.. the curb was small enough to not hit my bumper, but since then my car is pulling tward the left, any idea's?

hmm, thats wierd. I odnt understand how hitting you muffler can do this. I'm guessing alignment?

dohcMONSTER

in your head?

yuh this has nothing to do with ur car pulling left lol

gobblebox59

honestly, it pulled to the right before this and now its pulling hard left, i only ask cuz i dont know

gobblebox59

oh and it was straight back into the curb, something is not right because my car feels like a big boat, also when i take turns i literally dont have control at slow normal speeds (backend comes around) sorta like rwd - control arm maybe?

GdmLaz

well maybe if you reversed at lyk 50 mph the muffler hit the curb and the pipe hit the back control arm but i doubt that the lil exhaust pipe could do anything to a control arm

medside

have you taken your car to get your muffler pulled out yet? i would do that first, then take it to an alignment shop

does your muffler come out by your front tire cause that what it sounds like to me
one time i backed in to a curb with my front tire and my muffler fell off it was the weirdest thing

huh that is a little wierd. id say go get ur alignment checked?

gobblebox59

Check to see if your piping didnt hit anything, though its hard to see that it would. But really, the best thing you can do is look under for yourself, because there is not enough info you provided for us to determine. If anything, could it be bad roads?

my friend backed my ws exhaust up on a curb last year. it didnt affect front end anything at all.

TrizzyDizzy

Yea, its really hard to tell anything with the information we have. But with what info we have....muffler tapping is no way related to hard pulling to the right or left.

gobblebox59

i never said it was front end related damage, i said its pulling to the left now, and the backend is very very out of wack, when i drive in a straight line on any road the back wheels feel crooked, like my front wheels are going straight but my back wheels are angled, it wont get anywhere near straight for more then a very short time

eg4usdm

well i really think that its cause your throttle cable is linked with your timing belt and the control arms are in the front and rear, therefor your v-tec is a little off.

check your tires. get 'em pulled off, look for screws or nails in them, and have them rebalanced. get your rear end re-aligned, and while it's getting aligned, have them check the rear suspension for anything out of the normal.

TrizzyDizzy

Yea, the least you could do is look under there yourself. Check anything if its loose, or possibly missing.

Get an alignment done.
