So yesterday I was doing a u-turn on a road with a middle curb/median, it was raining. I was slowing down in 2nd gear. Started the u-turn, car was bogging down because I was in 2nd at slow speeds. I downshifted to first, car got away from me, I stood on the brakes (only going about 10mph or less), and went over the curb. The curb was not huge, it was a lower curb with a slant to it.

I am pretty sure I took some damage (besides scratching the bottom plastic stuiff up big time) as now when I turn full left my front tire rubs the inner fender liner. I also am getting vibration in the steering wheel at speeds over 60mph.

My question is, is there any place in ATL (prefer near Marietta) that is GOOD that can look at my car and tell me if anything is damaged. I would also like to get my wheels checked to see how much they are bent, and if they are repairable. Wheels are 5Zigen 17 inchers.

I will be putting my stockers on today to see if the steering wheel still vibarates at 60mph....

Thanks for any help.

 

The rubbing is probably do to the plastic cover coming off if you can see it is that than thats better than the actual axle being bent. THe 60mph thing is prolly your balancing. Your tires need to be balanced. If you feel no difference from 0-60mph than it is most likely the balancing. Usually this is a free service from where you bought your tires from. THe only problem i really see is if the axle is bent. I think there is a mitsu dealership up in marietta. Just go talk to a mechanic. Obrian Mitsubishi former peachtree mitsubishi is pretty good too. I went there and they were all layed back. They told me to come back and test drive the 05 mr when they get them in. I think that is the best service i have gotten from any mitsubishi dealer.

 

Just re read the forum. It is probably a missing clip for the inner fender.

 

goto knowledge performance, it's off of old 41.

yeh, your bumper maybe pushed back and your tires out of balance. maybe wanna get an alignment checked and check your fender lines.

 

Took my car to a friend at Firestone at TownCenter. He aligned it and found that the front right wheel was bent. He balanced the wheel as best he could and put it on the back. Strangely enough, I have very little vibration in the steering wheel now. Everything appears ok. I have not checked to see if the tire rubs when turned full left.

The bumper/fender are not bent. The rubbing was caused because the wheel was pushed out of alignment. That should be fixed now, but I haven't checked yet.

 

glad things worked out.
