Problems with Ice

[cwaitt11]

So today was a pretty eventful day. I was at work until about noon and i decided to go run some errands during my lunch break. It was snowing and had actually converted to sleet and freezzing rain. Not a good combo with snow covered roads. Anyway i was turning a corner going about 15 or 20 mph and i slid and the front right wheel hit a curb HARD. I pulled into the next entrance after the stoplight and i got towed. I noticed that the front right wheel had some bad curbage and it was turned a little bit to the right. I was wondering if anyone had some suggestions as to what i could have damaged. Cars aren't really my thing so i just want a general idea so that when i get it repaired i dont get screwed. Thank you.

hard to say without actually seeing pictures of the damage. It could have bent your wheel, control arm, bent/busted the strut... or it could have just knocked your alignment out of wack.

Its safe to assume you bent something however...

 

[soul.survivor]

tie rod, lower control arm, brake rotor, hub/bearing, tire, wheel

It could be a number of things or a combination of them.

For Example

• Bent Wheel
• Bent Control Arm
• Bent Tie Rod End
• ANy suspension COmponent not listed.

It really could be a lot of things...but its likely if you hit that hard, that something bent or broke.

ITs propbably gonna cost you a prety penny if you have all of the work done somewhere out of pocket.

well i looked at it today...nothing appeared to be damaged or bent...it would be nice to be just alignment lol but i doubt it. I am gettin a buddy of mine to look at it tomorrow. hopefully all is well.

If it makes you feel better, yours is the one with the nicest formatting.

As for the issue at hand, i'm subbing cause a buddy of mine said he has some wobble in his wheel after hitting an icebank sideways.

Unless your buddy does shop wheel and suspension work - he may miss a problem...

So i got my vehicle towed to a shop today...all it was was a spindle and bearing issue. they are fixing this for 400 dollars and then i am throwing on some General Tires Altimax HP tires for an extra 500. wat do you guys think of those tires?
