Hey guys. Had to avoid a car and garfed my wheel against the curb (side swipe about 10 mph). It doesn't pull, tracks straight (braking and non braking), steering wheel is straight.

I had the rim fixed (photos attached, but it feels a bit light - maybe just me. I am gonna get it checked but curious to see if anything may be bent. I tend to think not since I think it would pull, no? I looked underneath and it looks ok. Thx!

Maybe not bent but probably knocked out a little. Better safe than sorry so get the alignment checked.

 

I would think if It doesn't pull, tracks straight (braking and non braking), steering wheel is straight.

Then no worries

 

Thanks guys! Has it checked - suspension parts all straight ... toe was off on that side which was the cause of it feeling a bit light. 49 bux for a piece of mind ain't bad

 

Is the tire ok? Looks like it got scraped pretty bad as well...

 

Yep, good to go - got lucky it missed the sidewall n just shaved off a chunk from the lip just above the rim edge

 

Lucky. You might keep an eye on it though, in case it starts bubbling.

 

Thanks, I will definitely keep my eye on it. I was really stoked on the mobile guy who fixed the rim! He feathered the biggest area instead of filling it (apparently filling just chips off due to stress); I so appreciate the artists who can do that kinda stuff - 45 minutes to fix n paint!

 

Its amazing how they can fix wheels like that. Can't even tell it happened. Hopefully I never have to experience the amazingness, even tho its not a word lol

 

No doubt I hear ya on that one! It was actually a ladder that fell out of a truck as he pulled into my lane - only ways out were run the ladder over or try to squeeze between the ladder n the curb, oye!! I think I picked best; running the ladder over would have been a disaster!
