Well I did it, Bent a damn Rim. Besides for that, where should I look for suspension damage? I wanna make sure that was the worst it did.

 

Depending on how you hit it.....turning, driving straight, speed etc...I've seen lower control arms get bent, tie rods, sometimes in extreme cases, there's been structural damage as well. Putting the car on the lift really helps though.

 

I'd go get your alignment checked.

 

man that sucks, thats always something i have to worry about here in texas, so i dont wanna go any lower on the profile of my stock tires...good luck, and i hope nothin else was damaged..do you have to use your donut for now or do you have a full size spare?

 

Check to see if your car pulls to a certain side or not while driving. Lift the car up on a hydrolic press and turn the steering wheel all the way left, and all the way right to see if there is any suspension play. Do a few really tight u-turns and see if you hear any pronounced clicking (or even clunking) noises during the turn.

 

hey what size tires are you running?

 

jack the car up and check for any signs of damage

 

Put it up on a lift if you can or atleast jack it up and make sure both sides look the same as far as suspension and all parts attached, not bent, broken or anything like that.

 

know how u feel bro. I went over a pot hole and bent my rims. But i fixed my rims and bought me new tires but nothing else went bad

 

Well luckily (don't know how its luck But) I was going straight, not turning. The tires are 235/45/18 Pirelli P-Zero Neros. I thought about it for a bit and I have to say that if I had a lesser tire, it probably would have blown. I've driven about 25 Miles or so on it since it happend and the car seems to drive fine. heres some pics.

 

damn i would think that 45 profile would absorb the impact better..must have been a huge pothole

 

how deep was the pothole?

 

must have been pretty deep...im guessing you couldnt pound it back in with a rubber mallet or something? at least to lose the look of the huge dent? sounded good to me.

 

Yea, it was deffinetly a chasm I hit. Bast@ard New England winter. These are some thick rims too.

 

Holy ouch! That looks terrible. =(
