? about wheel alignment
I was making a right turn today and managed to clip the right rear wheel against the curb. Didnt do any noticeable damage to the wheel but it did toe it in and is making driving a new experience. I took off the wheel and again did not see any noticeable damage on the wheel or the rear end. I am assuming that it now needs and alignment. Anyone else go thru this. I felt so stupid I was just kinda day dreaming.

is the steering wheel harder to move?
i would go ahead and get the 4 wheel alignment done their gunna check your entire susupension anyways so ull find out if anything else is damaged
cause if your caster or camber or toe is off that 1 tire is going to wear down abnormally causing your car to pull
make sure u get a print out of the specs so they dont jack u around

Buy 4 castor/camber fluted 3 way bolts & take it in for a full 4 Wheel alignment. Get them to check for anything bent.

I am sure the tire will wear fast in this condition. While I am at it I need a replacement 18x8.5 wheel any good sources, I checked the classifieds. Thanks
