About 2 weeks ago i hit a gutter side on and both rims on the right hand side buckled only slightly. The rear control arm etc were warped as f*k but i have since replaced the entire thing, new disk, pads etc. Now there is no structural damage (thank christ) or diff damage but i believe the front bearing may be f'd. i can still drive the car, (took it for an alignment before i realised the vibration) but there is still a vibration which increases upwards of 80km so i have not been driving it in fear of further damage. what should i do ;?
rim is buckled, 0took it to get machined and replaced it with the stocky, luckily it hasnt caused anything serious. im confused though because if it was bearing damage the guys who did the alignment would have noticed right?
Jack the car up and try to turn the wheel (in direction of camber). Movement in this direction is often the wheel bearing. Check for play in all the bushes and ball joints as I would think this is more likely the issue.
you also may need to check the tie-rod ends. This will give you vibration through your steering at the 80kpm speed you are talking about.
Sounds like a buckled rim I have the same problem once I hit about 100 the car gets a Nasty vibration I've seen the warp too when I had the wheel balance not a pretty sight lol
