About a month ago i broke my rims when i had to jump the curb while i was speeding to avoid getting hit by a cement mixer that was trying to move in my lane!!!! now the car drifts to the right and i can literally switch lanes to the right without moving the steering wheel...

The only rim that broke was the top passenger side rim (top right side) and i scratched up the back right a little bit...

what else did i damage other than the rims...

now the factory ones are back on the car...

how much do u think it would cost to fix this problem

you need to get an alingment....probably could have bent tie rods too, which would throw steering off

There's probably more bent than that.

like every compontnet of the front suspension, the subframe and anything tied into the subframe?

 

so much stuff could potentially have gone wrong, it could end up costing you a load of money. i would get it on a lift and inspect the whole suspension, front and back. also inspect the frame. i dont think it is a steering problem, because i would expect that to cause more trouble than you mentioned. did the cement mixer get cited, or have to pay or something?

 

ha... the cement mixer kept going and i was too freaked out to get his licence plate number... bastard ***...

im planning to fix this at my own expence because i dont want my insurance rates dont fly to the sky...im 17 with a silver 2000 EX V6 Coupe... its high enough ALREADY!!!

i just hope its not that serious... i havent done anything yet because im afraid to what i might find... the car still drives well... except for the fact that if i let go of the steering wheel ima fly to the right..

 

If I were you I would take it to a tire shop and have them take a look at it and they will tell you if you need just an alignment or need to replace parts and an alignment. You do need an alignment for sure though.

 

this somewhat happend to me.... i took it to the shop.. i dont think theres much you can do yourself... just take it to the shop and have it inspected. all they'll do is tell you what parts to change.. then you get it fixed.. problem solved.. your radius rods are probably bent.. witha few other things

 

An Accord that Drifts.......... SOUNDS COOL!!!!!!!!!
