i had skidded today and my front passenger wheel hit the curb then the back wheel did

[garcha]

The alignment of the steering wheel inst straight, and when i drive above 50mph, the steering wheel can shake?
Both alloys are scuffed and the Tyre was 2..

Any ideas how to fix the problem. ?

Is it anything major ?

Take it to a good type place and get them to align the steering and check it when its up on the ramp

Sounds ruined mate.

On a lighter note, that is the best thread title ever.

Possible bent wheels and knackered wheel bearings, bent steering arm, could have bent the rear stub axle or beam.

Slow down!

Driving lessons required.... Or new tyres if you managed to skid and do damage at 20mph

I can't understand why there would be gravel in a McDonalds carpark...

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

Re: i had skidded today and my front passenger wheel hit the curb then the back wheel

Buckled wheel or two probably and steering alignment, People need to learn how to answer a question not jump on him and tell him how to drive..

Where in Northampton was the gravel pit?

Re: i had skidded today and my front passenger wheel hit the curb then the back wheel

Diesel? Black Ice? Unicorn piss?

Get it to a local tyre place or a garage that knows what they're doing.

Thread title... amazing nonsense.

Where near Rugby? If its Daventry side, thats my patch.

Re: i had skidded today and my front passenger wheel hit the curb then the back wheel

near the a4304

 

[Naith]

Re: i had skidded today and my front passenger wheel hit the curb then the back wheel

any pics of damage so we can pass on advice.

 

[garcha]

Re: i had skidded today and my front passenger wheel hit the curb then the back wheel

the damage isnt that bad, few scuffs here and there..

 

[garcha]

Re: i had skidded today and my front passenger wheel hit the curb then the back wheel

more worried about the steering..

 

[Gouldy]

Re: i had skidded today and my front passenger wheel hit the curb then the back wheel

Wow, just wow. You lost control of your car in a skid at 20mph?

Were you advised to wear armbands when eating soup?

 

[Naith]

Re: i had skidded today and my front passenger wheel hit the curb then the back wheel

well its not going to fix itself. Get it to a dealer asap. bet you've smashed at least one bearing though... just hope you've not bent a hub nut, that WILL be expensive.

stick to 15mph next time.

 

[Revels]

Re: i had skidded today and my front passenger wheel hit the curb then the back wheel

Pics will help but from what you've said, it could be loads of things. All of what Sam said.

Take it to a garage and ask them to look at it.

Re: i had skidded today and my front passenger wheel hit the curb then the back wheel

Usually you can drive through it so if it shakes at 50mph it'll be fine at 100mph.

 

[skiddusmarkus]

Re: i had skidded today and my front passenger wheel hit the curb then the back wheel

Take the wheels off and put them in a bath of hot water- then post pics of before and after so we can see if its fixed it.

Going on the thread title, how did your front wheel manage to hit the curb and then hit your back wheel as well? :S

LOL, I had to re-read it a few times. Genuinely laughing at fairy liquid!

OP, sounds like a buckled wheel. Besy bet is get it on the ramps.

May as well have been doing 80 mph at night with your lights off IIRC. Same risk.
