Help lol
Hey guys, well last night was a little crazy.....
Ok the roads were a little wet last night and to make a long story short, around a corner I oversteered going about 50 ( accidently ) and the back end swirved around off the right side of the road, and the car did some crazy **** then spun around back onto the road. There were alot of crazy *** bumps and stuff along the way. Now when I got out of the car along with kicking my own *** I noticed the car seemed to be ok. Driving it along it seemed to be fine. didnt really pull to one side of the road or anything, and there weren't really any noises etc. My question is, if there was a problem would you be able to tell with the car driving funny or noises? Or should i just take it to acura to make sure...
Thanks for all your help guys.

Re: Help lol (NAallTheWAY)
I didn't notice grease, but I did notice a bird **** size stain on the inside of my back wheel that hit the off road first. It looks exactly like a bird **** lol but its inside near the back part of the inner rim. could be grease, which is why i brought it up. Would there be a bird **** size if i cracked something? or a crap load? man this sucks.... I drove it around today, seemed fine, just a little more vibration in the steering wheel than before, but could just be me being paranoid.

Re: Help lol (TemperdSoul)
Just went and checked, and I have no idea what a cv boot is, but I dont see any grease, nor do i see anything cracked or damaged from the naked eye. I will prob ask acura to take a look at each wheel upon the next oil change which will be within a week or two. Any other help would be appreciated tho.
thanks alot guys.

Re: Help lol (TemperdSoul)
Increased vibration in the wheel would suggest you may have bent a wheel...quite possible if you are sliding sideways with your wheels off the pavement @ 50 mph. Acura won't be able to tell you anything by looking at the wheels unless the bend is pretty severe, in which case you could see it yourself. If there really is increased vibration in the wheel, you should probably have the wheels checked out by a shop for bends and balance. Go someplace that specializes in this stuff (i.e. a good suspension or wheel shop), as they will know at least as much as Acura and charge you far less.
Oh yeah...learn to change your oil...

Re: Help lol (Nosser)
I would say that if you were sliding then you are ok if you haven't noticed anything by now. If it was dry I would say check the camber, toe and general alignment but other than that it should be ok as long as you didn't run into anything. I had the same thing happen with my Tiburon but it was on black ice and I slid parallel into the curb, not fun but thankfully the old driving skills paid off and saved me from any massive damage.
