Hey Everyone,

So today while heading to school I nailed my right rear wheel while making a turn at about 15mph. It hit hard enough that it threw my car to the left. Afterwards it seemed my car was pulling to the right and my wheel to go straight was a couple of degrees off of center, which it never has been before. I assume that in this case having the rear-end aligned is in order and would fix this issue? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help.

 

Make sure they perform a thorough inspection for any broken or bent parts on that corner. They will align all 4 wheels.

 

So yesterday I took my G to my auto mechanic, they lifted it up and checked everything out and all seemed fine. They were going to do an alignment but they said that the alignment was fine. However, for my car to go straight now I have to have my steering wheel off center to the left by a few degress. I honestly don't remember my car being like that as it has always been right on center. Other than that, everything seems fine and no weird vibrations or noises coming from the tires. I am wondering if this is something worth getting another look at, or maybe I am being a little too **** about it.

 

You might just be paranoid?

 

I'm suspecting that this is the case.

 

If you are certain that your steering wheel pointed absolutely straight before and now it's not, I'd suggest a second opinion. Your car can track straight with the wheel off center, but it's annoying as hell.

 

Post the print out of the alignment. I want to see the thrust angle specs especially.

I didn't get the printout of the alignment. Is it common to ask for a printout of an alignment?

 

Maybe the car is not steering right because you're in need of a front end alignment in addition to rear??
