hit curb, having noise now.------hate Clark

All because of the Clark shoes i had on this morning!
The sole is too thick and I lost feeling of the padels!
Even worse,because it has a fringe, when I move my foot from gas pedal to brake padel, it stuck my foot!

Therefore, I hit a very high curb at 15mph and the right front tire is blown.
I put on the spare tire and drove home. But I found there is a grinding noise from the front of the car,very noticable.

My question is, is this noise all from the spare tire for its defferent size, or I might have bent any axle?

All comments are welcome.

I'm pretty sure your front wheels are out of alignment now. When you get a replacement tire, make sure you get the front aligned. Also check if your rim with the flat tire is damaged. Hopefully there's no worse damage, but if the hit is hard enough you could have bent suspension parts, even bent chassis! Might want to have the whole front end checked before getting a new tire.

My old galant was wrecked hitting a curb at high speed too, though I was unlucky enough to have the curb hit the oil pan too, knocking it. The chassis is bent, one of the front wheel (which incidentally was blown too) is moved back several inches. The car was practically totalled, it would cost more to fix the car than the car's worth. I don't know whether it's the engine oil pan hitting the curb or the wheel that caused the chassis to bent, though.

I know what it's like with some big, heavy shoes. Whenever I switch to heavy boots for winter I had to get used to it all over again too. I usually have to move the seat back a notch too.
