i live in maryland and there is ice and snow all over my neighboorhood.

as i was driving and made a turn, the car slid, and i hit the curb at like 10-15mph.

the right front tire got it. the bumper and lights are ok, there is no appearance that i crashed.

HERES the PROBLEM:


when i drive the car vibrates and i think the right tire wobbles. at 20mph its fine but after that its really bad.

whats going on here? what should i do?

thanks alot

 

up

 

someone please

 

Check to see if you bent anything. If that doesnt appear to be the problem, yes an allignment would be a good idea.

i already removed the wheel to see and everything seems ok. when i put the wheel back on, it got better. but its still pretty bad. the stock hub is also partially broken.

Could be your problem right there. Get a new hub. Aftermarket wheels that don't have hubcentric rings also have shaking problems.

i meant the hub cap is broken sorry. but yeah i think i will buy a new hub. where can i get one?

 

Haha..don't replace the whole hub before you get an allignment. The allignment place will definately let you know if they can't do it because stuff is bent.

 

You probably need an alignment, but there is a small chance that it's the wheel. Try switching the impacted wheel with the driver's side rear and see if it helps any.

yeah you should problably get an alignment done. i went over a curb one time, and one tire was straight, while the other was crooked. Midas couldn't fix it so i ended up going to an alignment specialist. They said something was bent.

what was bent? how much did it cost you?

 

every car and accident is different my friend.............dont look to investigate other peoples cost and damages until you definately find out what the problem is because u might end up replacing parts that are still good and might end up losing more money in the long run.........so to end my rambling i would suggest u wait until someone who knows more about cars than u takes a look, not saying that u dont know anything but u sound a little unfamiliar with what to look for....
