Help! hit a curb....
yesterday i was driving home and i decided to drift in my neighborhood. I redlined first and then hit a corner. i back end came out more than expected and hit the curb. Luckily it was in the neighborhood and the curb was one of the rounded ones and not the squared curb.
Now when driving my steering wheel offcentered to the right. What do i need to do to fix this? could it be as simple as an alignment? or do i need to replace suspension componets?
BTW i hit the curb with the rear passenger wheel.
Any input is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

i was going down an off ramp that was shoveled the first half and not shoveled the second half. who coulda known. anyway i spun out because by the time i saw the ice it was too late. all I had to do was replace the control arms. not a bad idea to go ahead and check the bushings on all the lower control arms as those bushings do get torn over time! both of my front control arms had torn bushings from the collar rusting against the adjusting bolt.

Yes, check the control arm. I got hit a few years back on the freeway right on my driver side rear wheel and they had to replace the control arm. You should get it checked out as soon as you can. When I got hit there, the car would always pull to the side when driving.
BTW, please PLEASE don't try to pull those kinds of stunts in a residential neighborhood. You were real lucky that you didn't hit another car, property, or even a person.
Even I wouldn't try that kind of stuff in a neighborhood.
