stupid me

[_VVTi_]

yes... i'm kinda stupid... i overestimated the handling of my 94 V6 Camry LE along with those crap dry handling Blizzakes...
i was taking a right hand sweeper-off-ramp turn... about halfway thru the turn, the car started to understeer to the left, so i eased off the gas and steering to the right (when i should be applying gas, cuz is a FF car) the car kept understeering...then the left front tire scraped along the curb (scraped my OEM rims, now there are rough edges along the "rim" of the rim), then it bounced the car to the right (becuz i had the wheel steered to the right) then it bumped the right side as well, the right side rim didn't have ne damaged, but it scrape a bit off the tire (missing the "R20" from "R205/65/15")....
geez i hope the rough edges on the left rim won't puncture the tire... and the right tire won't pop cuz of the scrape...

stupid ain't I?

hows the alignment ?

[_VVTi_]

alignment? well the car tends to wander to the left side if i hold the steering wheel perfectly centered...(i can see the left wheel turns to the left) i need to take it to a tire shop to realign it don't I? what else do u think i have damaged? Axle?

[Eye8Pussies]

"shouldn't" have to worry about the axle....

if you just scraped along, then the strain shouldn't be bad enough to really bend or break anything.....

[_VVTi_]

well...u see..i was going at around 60km/h (i think) when i hit the curb...so is that enough speed to damage ne thing? and i think the left rolled on to the curb... ne how, i made an appointment at the dealership for a check for alignment and to see if ne thing has been damaged...
they also said that i'd probably have to order a new rim... cuz on the lip of the rim is all scraped up, there's like rough sharp-looking edges along the lip... should i just tell them to smooth it down? or will there be a chance that it will puncture the tire?

Check the bearing on your hub by wiggle the wheel (not turning it) while the car is jacked up. If it's loose then you'll need a new bearing.

Check CV boot.

Take the rim off, put it on the balancing machine and see if it's bent.
