I hit a curb pretty hard with my front passenger wheel and bended the wheel, I got an alignment and they said everything looks good except for SAI is like .05 degrees off. They said your subframe might have slightly been bent, but the car drives normal and it doesn’t pull. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
<o></o>
The only issue I have now is that when I turn in to go up the driveway or coming off the driveway , on my driver side sometimes something clunks, it was really bad before the alignment, now is still kind of there. (Not as loud though).<o></o>
<o></o>
Also the squeaking annoying noise from the breaks when going reverse, now heard sometimes going forward.<o></o>
<o></o>
Any ideas?<o></o>

No one on here can diagonose your car via internet. Take it to a dealer or mechanic and have them check it out.

the only thing to do after something like that is to have a licensed mechanic look at it either at the dealership or somewhere you trust

Alignment should be the last thing to do. Most likely you bent or brok

I just wanted to get some ideas on what I am up for. maybe some people had similar issue either with g37 or g35 as alot of people on here owned before. (worst case scenario) every car has its weak points in a typical pothole, curb or etc accident.

mechanic already checked it, I had to get an appt to take it back in for them to put it on the frame machine.

First time ever hearing of a bended wheel. I would be scared if I bended anything. I wouldn't try to drive on the bended wheel. You think the dealer could bended it back?

Dude that's what insurance is for. It sounds to me like $600-$800 dollars worth of damage not to mention labor cost as well.

you could fix the bent rim at a wheel shop.... it does make the wheel weak afterward i heard... and cannot fix it a second time... one time thing

my deductable is $500, so if anything below $1000 I just pay out of pocket. as far as the wheel, I am getting some vossens 82s. it was meant to be. I just wish I pulled the stupid move a little later to wait and see how the vossen concaves look like on our cars.

Yeah I'd get that double checked by a certified mechanic first. How exactly did you hit a curb so hard as to bend your rim?

if pot holes can dent a rim, i'm sure a curb will dent it good

will see, I hit it pretty hard, I would say around 25 MPH. I blew up my tire and went over the curb to the other side actually. The body shop near by got a opening on their frame machine tomorrow, I just got bunch of stuff thrown at me at work hopefully I would make it. I am not too worried since the car doesnt pull on either acceleration or breaking.

ouch... went right over the curb??... how's the side skirts??.... also, right after the hit/accident.. was the steering a bit messed up.. like the steering wheel is a bit crooked to drive straight??
