Smakced a curb, suspension question
I was leaving my neighborhood and the roads were slick. I have a 96 Civic hatchback, no TCS, no PS, no ABS. Taking the last turn I turned the wheel and started to turn, but I was going to fast for the conditions (15mph). The car turned sideways and smacked the curb on the left side. The front wheel is okay. The rear wheel looks like it might be very slightly out of camber. While driving, once above 40mph, the left rear wheel makes a noise that almost sounds like an exhaust leak. It gets louder until 60mph where it evens out. I looked at the suspension assembly and it looks okay. Tire looks okay as well. The car still drives straight and normal. Any ideas of what the problem is?

So, ummm, what year did the Civic come with a <u>T</u>raction <u>C</u>ontrol <u>S</u>ystem?
Anywayz, I too would recommend that you have your alignment checked, as well as that rim.
