well, i rolled back into a curb and there's a nice little mark on my wheel... i checked the forums for repair places and i came across stuff regarding alingments, bent control arms, damage hubs, etc... it's about the size or a quarter. i doubt i screwed anything up, but what should i look for? car is 3 months old... i have every warranty possible. could i go to the dealership and claim my car is driving funny and have them check free of charge?


Thanks~!

warranties cover mechancial failure, NOT accidents.

How fast did you roll into the curb. We're you parking the car when you scraped a curb inadvertently?

If so, don't even worry about it. You just damaged the finish on the rim and nothing else. You can get the rim refinished, or you can buy a new one.

i backed up... "trying to park" i was trying let another vehicle through because some person decided to park illegally and took up extra space small alley. in fact, i do not recall being in reverse.

i'm not worried about the finish, i just want to know what's the probablity of me bending suspension parts?

If you were "rolling back" not too fast the only thing you should really worry about is the alignment. Other then that, I don't see how you rolling back slowly can bend or damage the suspesion.

Curb rash is something everyone that has to park on a city street deals with at some point. A quarter sized scratch on your wheel shouldnt throw off your alignment, let alone bend or break any part of the suspension.
