last night i hit a curb at around maybe 15 mph (front passenger wheel) and i was fairly adjacent to the curb, so i hope that reduced some damage.

the result:
- when i drive the car, the steering wheel needs to be turned a little bit to the right (id say about a 10/4 o'clock position ) to drive straight. aside from the cosmetic damage to the rim and tire, and the irregular steering position, everything else *seems* to be okay. i dont hear any noises out of the blue (as i read some people have had), and the distance from fender to wheel, on the left and right wheels, are pretty much equal in distance (could possible be off by a half cm, i just quickly checked with a measuring tape, seemed ok though to the naked eye.)



i know either way i have to get an alignment done, but are there ne steps i should take -before- that? the people at the alignment shop should tell me what else is damaged/bent right? whats a good price to get alignment done? im located in San jose, CA, does any1 recommend a shop around my location, if not, the bay area? thanx alot guys

you might wanna see if the rim is bent or not... hitting a curb could do that.

 

I hope ur not driving that car with that tire looking like that. Blown tire in the front is going to suck
