Pot holes what dammage can it do ?

Well on my way to VA. i took 81s. and man PA's road suck a$$. Well anyway i nailed a few pot holes and whatnot, one was so hard my fuse cover fell off and my ash tray opened. My question is what could possibly be dammaged from such rough hits. My rims looked ok what about alignment and stuff ?

rim out of round, alignment, or a bent strut depending on how big the pot hole is

Dont forget that you can get some nice bubbles in your tires. I had one a few months ago the size of a baseball. TownFair tire replaced that free. AND yesterday when i was washing my car i noticed 2 tires have good sized bubbles on them. guess its basically a whole new set of toyo proxes for FREE

Cost me a new tire, bent rim, new inner and outer tie rods. All this on driver's side. I also got an alignment. One good thing came out of this. I was finally able to upgrade to 18" rims and Kumho Supras. But now I have vibration from 65-70. I've balanced it twice, but I'm so tired of chasing this problem that I'm just gonna leave it.

Potholes ate 3 axles in 3 months for me (Along with Sprint Springs)

and 6 rims in 2 years...

Seattle roads suck azz. Damn teargas canisters everywhere burning holes in the asphalt.

Matter of fact I have a bubble on my passenger side tire right now and the rim is bent also



And I'm get very hard shaking from that side when I hit a little bump
or turn sometime. I'm afraid to get the damage look at.
