Hit some bumps today...

[LUVLEXUS101]

So I was driving tonight without my glasses on and I slammed really hard into a bunch of ice and holes when I wasn't paying attention. I got a flat right front tire, not sure if I bent the rim. But now the steering wheel alignment is off and stays twisted a bit counterclockwise so if I hold it straight i go right. Any idea if the alignment is just messed up or did I probably damage some other stuff? I already know that both outer boots on the axles are torn from way before.

Sounds like you just messed up your alignment.

I think its doubtful that you caused any major damage without also bending the rim.

Most likely you did warp a rim. Try rotating the tires first to see if that fixes the problem. On the other hand, you could have damaged a steering or suspension component but have a mechanic professionally inspect all of that before you go wasting your money on an alignment. I'm currently having the same problem with my car, pulls to one side and I've already had an alignment done. I'm in the process of inspecting and replacing bushings and suspension stuff etc trying to get to the root of the problem.

if your steering is off its very possible that somthing has been damaged. youll want to get it checked out along with that rim. if you dont you may eat through tires real fast.

check if either of the tie rod ends are bent. my buddy skidded he car into a curb - didnt damage the rim or tire, but did bend a tie rod slightly.
