Sorry i don't know if i have put this posts on a wrong section, but if anyone can help please..

I am making a round about and put to much throttle, skid, put to much brake, skid into a gutter.
My front left tyre bump the gutter. i'm sure it's not really hard, about 20km/h.
The tyre are ok and everything seem ok from outside, but i missed my alignment.
Now my steering are heavy to the left, is it just alignment or am i bending anything?


Thx, appreciate any help..

You bent something, probably best to take it to a suspension specialist and have them check it out unless you have the ability to get under and check/measure everything.

Didn't someone else do this a couple of weeks ago?

Sounds like a cartalk driver training day is on the cards :)

haha I ran into a gutter a couple weeks ago, for me, I bent my sway bar end linkage and crunched my lower control arm. Check the lower control arm as I read that it is suppose to be quite fragile to save other suspension parts.
