Allignment

So i hit a curb at about 5 miles an hour today in the ice and my right wheel now points slightly right with the steering wheel straight. Im not sure what it could be or how i could find out what the problem is. any help would be appreciated. thanks

Sounds like you bent a part in the front end.

If your car pulls to one side left or right it might need an alignment. It cost about $50.00. You might want to ask a mechanic to test drive it to see what they think. It wouldn't hurt to get a second opinion, if you want to keep your potential cost low don't go to the dealership! Good luck.

Most shops are going to cost more than $50 for an alignment...

I am sure others will chime in but I recommend looking for a place that offers lifetime alignment

I've got an alignment coming up. Nasty shimmy above 60mph. Anyone reccomend one place over another? I'm thinking about a franchise owned Big "O" tires for 55$ It looks shady though.

I had to do my alignment early this year after noticing some uneven tire ware. Anywhere you go they'll probably try to get you to also fork some money for wheel balancing. Cost me $80 here in the Bronx, NY...
