Hi I need some advice before I get my celica look at by a mechanic about a couple weeks ago i was driving my way to work on a rainy day, I went into a s turn and my steering wheel locked and the car started to slide I went over a medium scratch up the under the car ,cracked one rim pretty bad and blew out one tire its a miracle i didnt flipped over. Thank god the car was lowered. i replace the 2 front rims with some stock alloys but my steering is crooked I was wondering how bad of front end damage I might have since i have no body damage. Its crazy its a turn I've taken a hundred times and never had problems. Your input will be great

Check your control arms; sounds like they could be bent...

Messed up some suspension components.
Replace, and get an alignment. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money

QUOTE (95CelicaST @ Jun 1, 2011 - 10:38 AM)  Messed up some suspension components. Replace, and get an alignment. X2, check your control arms, for sure get an alignment. Do it quick before you start ruining other parts, i.e. bearings, cv joints, etc. from your alignment being out of whack. -------------------- 2006 BMW 330i - 6 Speed - Dinan Stage 1
