I slid my FC into a curb one day and now my steering is off. The car was completely sideways and both the front and rear wheels hit. I took the car in for an alignment and it still does not steer straight. Sometimes it pulls in either direction. I think I probably bent something but I don't know much about steering. Anybody know a good place to start?

 

There's a smell of rubber burning when I get out of the car so I don't think one of the wheels is spinning correctly... Could be the rear wheel, it's hard to say.. all the wheels have been balanced and the alignment was corrected as much as possible..

 

check tire pressure?? don't know about burning rubber smell though??

 

did you get a print out of the alignment?? you probably bent some stuff they didn't fix.. they probably just changed it as close as posible (which wont' be much) and gave it back.

 

Yeah, they just made it as close as possible, I believe I have a copy of the alignment. Can I tell what's wrong from that?

 

yes post your numbers.

front and rear. Toe, camber, caster.

 

are you a big fatty?

seriously though, if your over like 250 pounds, the alignment has to be adjusted with you in the car, or it won't be correct.

then again, if you weighed that much, you'd probably have a different car.

 

*l* I weigh about 140..., although my girlfriend weighs 325.... hmm... j/k
