AARGH, stupid curb and snow!

:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
I had to live in between a valley and a mountain, no way into my house without going down curvy hills.

Knew I was going into curb, tried turning the wheel so it would face the curb and not hit it sideways, and just ran right into it.
Now the car gets wobbly at 15mph and it's undriveable past 40mph.

Have no idea what it could be (I don't know much about these things), but I know it aint' going to be cheap

:'( :'( :'(

i had the same problem, i thought i was out of the way of a curb, but i nailed it going about 15-20 MPH. It turns out that i bent my rim, and i had to replace it. Luckily i got on ebay and found some a perfect set of OEM 2002.5 polished rims for $350 and brand new tires. Good deal.

Awesome, problem averted

I took a look underneath my car and checked the lower control arm and the knuckle and everything looked ok.

Took it to a Midas down the road, the guy drove it around and saw that there was loads of snow stuck between the rotor/wheel!!

Guy cleaned it off, I felt like a (silly) (butt), he told me he once had the same problem, gave him a tip, drove around, no more problem



Of course this snow pileup in my rotor had to happen the same time I go over a curb so it freaks me out

I know this is a long shot but try having the wheel that took the impact balanced again. It could just be a simple fix
