so last nite i was driving like an idiot and spun out for a few hundered feet. after that i stopped on top of this cement median, it was like 2-3 inches from the ground, and didnt really have a lip on it. I chipped my front drivers side wheel, but the rest of the car was ok.
I hit it very hard and it sounded like i hit 2 huge potholes. First on my driver rear wheel, then on the driver front. I jacked up my car today and retightened my wheel, and was looking to see if anything was bent. Everything looks okay, and my car seems to be driving fine, even tho my mind makes me notice things a different way now. but do you guys think anything could be wrong that i would not know of? I didn't even really know what to look for

Go get your alignment and supension checked by a tech who knows what he's looking at. Its impossible for anyone to know unless you show pics or the person sees the actual car.

go on the highway and see if your car pulls on either side with your hands off the wheel. If it does not, the damage you might have done might not be so bad, but i would still go in for an alignment, just to be sure.

alrite .. i just had my uncle align my car like a week ago, and it was still pulling to the right a bit, and since that happend last nite, the car was still pulling to the left a bit, so i felt like it was the same.
I guess i can have him look at it again, but i really dont want to tell him i spun out and hit a ******* island

Well it's the truth isn't it? If you don't like what you did, then think again before you drive like a maniac on a public road

</TD></TR></TABLE>No ****! If you don't tell the tech working on your **** what the hell you did to it (as embarrassing as it might be), he might not be able to tell at first what is wrong, or what to look for. Fess up and help him help you. Have your tire and wheel assemblies rebalanced and checked for out-of-roundness.

If you were driving dumb enough to spin out for a few hundred feet and hit an island, you probably broke something and should get the car checked.
