hey guys, few months ago i hit the curb.. (driver side rear) no visible damage, but my wheel seems to be going side ways.. no cracks or anything ... the car drives fine.. does NOT shake or anything... but the wheel wobles a little bit.... I jst changed the wheels and still doing that.. now i dunno what it could be..?? control arm ?? tie rod or what???
any ideas... thanks

 

What do you mean by changed the wheels?

Easy way to isolate the problem would be to put the spare tire on (or borrow a full size rim/tire from someone local to you), to see if the problem is still there.

If the wheel area shows a wobble, more than likely it is your suspension and not your rim.

 

I changed them.. all 4... and it seems Fine for now i think i didn't see it woble any more.. and i had my friend look while i moved the car .. and I guess the ones i had were jst not balanced well or something.. i mean i did hit the curb so.. yeah.. looks good for now. thanks yall.

 

Dude, get a full alignment check. It's definitely worth it. I feel you on the curb hit. I did the same not long ago. I replaced my lower control arm, toe link, and upper control arm just to be safe. Alignment was perfect after that.

Go to your full service Firestone center and get their lifetime alignment service. It's definitely worth it!

YUP!

If you hit curb hard enough to bend a wheel, it almost certainly knocked the suspension out of alignment, even if it didn't bend anything enough to be dangerous. Get it checked out.
