Ouch that always hurts. As much as I love NY i don't think I'll ever make it there with this car. To me hitting a pot hole at speed is as bad as cracking a rib

i hate potholes... hairline cracked my front right rim, have to refill every 2-4 days depending on weather... only bad thing is i bought a rim a few years back for this reason, but its 0.5 inches too wide in front and 0.5 inches too thin in back..

if anyone needs to get rims fixed go to POOR FREDDIES on Merrick BLVD in Jamaica . ASK for Jazz and tell him MIckey Rourke sent you !!!!
He has been fixing my rims for years .
NY and bent rims go together like corn flakes and milk

I just ****ing pissed because I took my car to fix the steering
Thats ok but we looked at the bushings and none seen bad
No play on all of them where is this squeak coming from I hear on the left front The only thing I saw when I put it on the lift was when I yanked the tire up and down not side to side I had a Lil play so maybe the top bushing is bad

New York has nothing on L.A. even in Beverly Hills, where you might expect at least decent streets there are literally potholes about a 1ft deep and 1 1/2ft wide all over the place.
Then there is the fact that normal street conditions are either perfectly smooth or like driving in a rock quarry.

The potholes are really bad right now, this weather has been screwing everything up. The streets by my house are so bad, it's like driving an autocross to avoid them right now.
If anyone needs alignments corrected on Long Island, just give us a call, we will take care of it. Careful out there, it's bad.
You may want to run a little more tire pressure to help prevent bending some wheels.

Yes for the fact NY roads suck and a double yes for the above post. The wheel/tire protection package was $1,800 when I bought my E and it's already saved me $3,200 in repairs so I'm up $1,400. Without it, I'd be taking my other half's rugged SUV anywhere and everywhere.
