Wheels seems to shake and cars pulls to left...please look
Well im not sure if this started before or after my trip but anyway. I hit some mean "potholes" a few weeks ago and now my cars seems as if the wheel shakes, it may have before but after i hit those potholes i think it even more. Anyway my question is do you think i need realignment or did i break anything. I have 235/25/19 on sprints so i know the ride is gonna be crappy and with small tires you feel alot, but its just worse of a though now after hitting the holes. Does anyone else have this problem. Also when i let go of wheel it seems like 80% the time the cars pulls left, is this just the road ? of what. Thanks sorry if anything is messy or run-on its late and im angry.

To check for bends. (prepare to get hands dirty) Run you finger along the inner side of the lip, you can feel for bumps and irregularities better that way. Also do that to the backside of each rim. They are sometimes hard to feel for, but check carefully and will usually look like this:

Also check your lower control arm, I broke one off the bushing once (in addition to bending a rim) and had similar symptoms to yours. Most likely, you just bent a rim. Head down to your local tire shop and see if they can put it on the wheel balancer thingy for you. That will usually tell you if it's out of round or not.
