Hey guys,

I have a 05 tl and i was making a left into a turn and someone kept sliding so i e-braked into it,avoiding the car but slightly hit the curb at like 10 mph. Its snowing so now rear keeps sliding to the right and my from wont stay straight. So pretty much stuck in a drift. I'm hoping its just an alignment needed and nothing else any suggestions or anything ?

 

As always, after a collision start with a visual inspection for bent and damaged components. Replace anything obviously damaged, then get the car aligned and see where it stands from there.

 

Given the severity of your complaint, you most likely have bent or damaged suspension parts on that wheel.

Perform an alignment evaluation to determine if the alignment in fact, changed. A readout of wheelbase and ride height will help determine which part moved. In my experience, the lower arm will cave before the upper.

The TunerN00B brings great advise, follow it.

 

I did this to my trailing arm once on my race car. It looked like I was sitting at a way weird camber and castor but the actual whole trailing arm was bent.after replacing it it was fine
