Rock It Till The Wheels Fall Off

OK. ive had a harowing experience. i was feeling some vibrations in my wheels so i rotated my tires and made sure everything was tight. it got worse so i figured i needed alignment. especially cus my tires were wearing funny. so i take it to get aligned they say it was off pretty bad and they also adjusted my camber. i take it home and park it. the next day im driving like 8 miles an hour while turning when my wheel falls off and rolls about a mile with my lug nuts following close behind. so i call the guy and tell him what happend and long story short im sueing. but anyway my abs light keeps coming on and my car is driving funny. it doesnt handle the same. my rotor has slight damage but besides that and my fender i dont see any visable damage. does anyone have any ideas as to what else could be damaged?

if you smacked the rotor on the ground, the rotor is toast, most likely you've ruined a few suspension components in there as well.

take it to a different shop, have them give you a quote on the repairs, then take it back to the one that screwed up and make them pay for it.

ABS light- chances are that the sensor got damaged by your runaway tire
