I drove over a large pot hole this morning which caused my front passenger Tyre to burst. It has now been replaced with my spare Tyre, however when I drive, my steering heavy. I have a feeling I might have also caused damaged to my suspension? Or could it be because I'm driving with a spare Tyre? Or maybe to do with the wheel alignment? (My friend did struggle to remove the tyre)

Please can someone advise?

Thank you.

 

Get your old wheel/tire fixed asap. Driving with a spare is all around bad for the car and dangerous. The traction will not be there if you make an evasive more or hit a little bit of rain.

 

how can we even begin to diagnose anything ??? have it looked at or at least post pictures.

 

What kind of car is this?

 

If you have some spare time (you'll only need like 15 minutes) take the tire off and then put it back on immediately. This time you want to make sure you're doing it properly. Bolts started by hand to avoid cross-threading, tighten on one-by-one using a "star pattern" (start one bolt, then do the opposite one across), and then if you have a tool to do so properly torque each bolt (80 ft lbs).

The tire is also probably smaller in both height and width than your other times, causing uneven traction between your two front wheels. Indeed the best practice is to get that wheel replaced ASAP.

If you're still concerned, have a professional look it over to be on the safe side.
