Trouble in Paradise!! HELP IF YOU CAN

Snafu4286 · 11-15-2007, 12:18 PM

SO i was messing around in teh rain one fine night and i lost control, went up and over a curb backwards. Yeah i know...i'm and idiot!! But my car was fine... ish. The driverside rear tire took the beating. Its knocked in pretty good. I'm not too good with the terminoligy but i know its way out of alignment. It's bent in from the bottom. I was wondering if anyone might know what i messed up! I'm underway right now so i cant get it looked at... any idea's one what i might of broken or how much it might run me?

Aaay Snaf, sorry, but it comes under the headin'a "*@&# happens", right?
Along with Rock I'd immediately suspect the loss of the rim, plus various parts whut's the support system for said rim, but not bein' able to see it put's a severe crimp in bein' able to assess the damage.
I don't think that the site (Without at least some serious flicks'a the stuff whut's behind the rim) is gonna be able to be much help with this, leastwize with the little amount'a info you've supplied.
'Sorry, but this sounds like a job for your local qualified mech.
Wish I had better news.
Be well.

Howdy Snafu , (wise choice of handle in this instance)

without laying eyes and hands on it, who could tell?
get it to a shop . Putting the whamie on stewie's ass-end ain't good for nothing. If the rim doesn't appear to be parallel with it's opposite counterpart, don't drive it, tow it.
If you do chance driving it, and there's any more than the most nominal vibration, stop and tow it. Best not to turn a minor problem into a major one for the price of a tow.

good luck getting it pointed in the right direction.
regards,
jagg
