Sure sounds like suspension. Whether it means the alignment has gone off, you've bent the wheel, or something else is wrong, but I would certainly have it looked into.

I had that happen a few years ago. Bent the wheel. Had to get a new wheel which completely fixed the problem.

So took it in for an alignment and to our surprise the SAI is out by 11 I believe and needs a new strut, knuckle and upper control arm and hub/bearing... That being said do u think there is a chance of possible frame damage!? Just curious as the car is made out of aluminum?
