Default Curbed a rim and Bent a hub

YEA

The alignment was thrown off really bad as well. Did the 4 wheel alignment but the rear right hub is bent bad. The wheel is sitting like this " / "

Sorry to hear about that Luke. I assume you were not testing the holding ability of the Sparco's...

LCA's probably bent... thats what goes first (aside from the rim). Cheap fix.

are you sure something is bent? my wheel took a lot harder curbing and nothing happened.

( I had no choice but to hit a curb two winters ago, at 4mph I was unable to stop the car and was heading straight for the back of a school bus... So I take it on the chin and use the curb to stop the car) and all had been fine, did not even fix the rim 'battle scars'

btw, get that tire checked out...you don't want the belt inside to be damaged (and your tire to explode on the road)...
