I was drivng and I was turning right and hit a curb (stress brings me stupidity) and it scraped my rear wheel. I was turning about 30mph. When I checked my car, I noticed that the wheel is kinda tilted and if i take my hand out of steering, it pulls to the right.
Should an alignment be fine or i do need to replace some parts? I will post pix of the later. Pls help. Thanks -------------------- God made man....

As far as an alignment, yeah, if your pulling it wouldnt hurt to get one (specialy if you smacked a curb)...is the wheel fine? As a busted wheel will pull you to one side. I know from experience. I totaled three of four wheels by curb hoping, besides the busted wheels, the only thing I needed adjusted was my camber. |

I would leave camber and stuff to the guys who have the skills to do it. Best bet is to take it somewhere that has a computerized alignment set up. But if it is camber, you might need crash bolts, or camber bolts.
