hit a curb . steering wheel crooked but car drives strait
 

so was messing around with bald tires yesterday dont ask... anyways i put the spare on the car . got home and put a 300zx wheel thining it would fix the problem . the car drive strait no shaking or pulling just a crooked steering wheel to the right like 50 degrees in to the right . i hit my back right tire . i cant see anythign bent . wat can it be? thanks guys

sounds bad, like you might have to replace some subframe and stuff, i dont know. look from the rear suspension where it hit to the steering column where it connects to the rack, thats my best guess good luck. the fc suspension is fairly stright forward, if somethings bent or tweaked should be easy to see and replace.

Bent lateral link.

i only hit the back wheel guys nothing else

Did you check the lateral link?

Just take it where you can get an alignment. Unless you know how to check it yourself at your place. Enough of your suspension geometry can be knocked out to where it can still drive straight, and have the steering wheel off a bit.

If the steering wheel if off then the car is not driving straight.

well im going strait is wat im saying like it stays there and car goes strait down the road....only thing i hit was my back wheel like i said

are you sure you just only hit the back.

Sometimes if you hit the rear hard enough, the car can track along the road sideways, where the front and rear wheels doesnt line up straight with each other. That can also make your steering crooked.

Drive on the road and let somebody follow you from about 3-4 cars lenght behind and look at the tires and see if they follow exactly behind the other.

Get an alignment. Tell the technicians what happened so they can look for damage.

If you don't listen to the above advice, then you just wasted your time making this forum thread. If you can't afford the alignment, then you can't afford the worn tires and possible additional damage to the car that will result from driving it.

ok ima do that ^^^ but wat parts would cause that? thats all i want to know and no it was only the back for thr 4th time...

Check the damn lateral link.

Take off your steering wheel, rotate it 50 degrees the other way so it's straight, then refasten. Ignorance is bliss!

+1 You put the wheel on wrong, dumby!

Then start a new thread why your car is beeping at you.

Shush, you.

Fanboi gets a quick fix.

I like the beeps - they give the voices in my head a rhythm to do some old-skool whiteboy rap.

get an alignment done on the car and just se what hapns
