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

As far as titled you mean.....which way? 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.


here are some pix





here it shows a slight angle



I dont have xperience adjusting camber. Is it easy or should i leave it to the pro's?
