possible diagnosis online - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #14076 7 posts Started by CBawlla
I was just wondering if you guys who are good with cars out there can give me a possible diagnosis of what's wrong with my car. I'm probably going to take it to a shop soon but I'd like to know before I go there.

Basically, I hit a curb going about 25mph which sorta bent the bottom of the front right tire inward. When my car is goes in a straight line, the steering wheel is flying around like crazy.

Any ideas on what it may be?
BENT RIM!!!

I did this before, try moving your front rim to the back and see if your steering wheel goes back to normal.

After you replaced your rim, go get an wheel alignment. >wink.gif>

Make sure you check your struts and sway bar end links, if they're old they could have taken a beating (though not so bad at 25).
