bad night can anyone help me
i was taking a u turn back on the highway and well i decided to go 30 in the turn and it was still wet so i nailed a curb with my left tire and then i went to look it wann't bad i got curb rash on the rim and my bumper kinda scratch no big deal tho but... my stearing wheel is now off i have to keep i right and yea my alignment got ****ed up my buddy said it can be the control arm tie rod or just the alignment and when turn the wheel all the way left something is rubbing and after it happen my wheels were chirping all the way down to my destination but went away.....please anyone know about this or has it happen to you?????
Either way it needs an alignment. look under the car and check to see if the lower control arm is bent. also check the tie rod end. I wouldnt drive more than you have to like this because you will chew up you front tires fast.

almost the same thing happened to me., actually bent the LCA and i had to change it.,take a look under there or you can take it to a firestone place or les schwab and they can inpect it.,hopefully its just an alignment....good luck.

U-turn at 30 mph on a wet road.......what part of this equation did you think it would be cool and nothing would happen?
I would say instead of looking for answers on the forum how about take it to a garage and see whats up......

Yeah the smartest thing is take it to a garage and see what you did. Before you go make sure you take a look under the car at the general area. Sounds like you messed up a control arm. Now have you learned your lesson ? Are we still gonna play road course ? Next time it could be worse, treat your ride better man.
something similar happened to me and I completely screwed up the LCA and spindle. Also ended up tweaking the rotor, but I ended up just living with a little vibration till it came time to replace the brakes with a new kit. Of course it will need a new alignment afterwards. But yeah, I highly doubt its going to be something that can be fixed by a simple alignment. 3000lbs traveling at 30mph and jamming against a concrete barrier is going to bend or brake something.
