Well after seeing Pirates for the 3rd time me and my friend decided to go take soem corneres on the way home, trying some new tricks and going in to fast made the front end of my car hit the curb, it messed up my front left tire pretty bad, there was a wretched wsound for a while but it eventuallly went away.... any ideas what could be wrong... man im in deep shit... thanks.
Hub cap broke? Sounds like you really really need that strut barBetcha can't wait to get that sucker on and take those corners.
Well you could have bent your rim, messed up your front suspension, and bent your frame. Worst case scenario. Get it looked at. How fast were you going?
was going about 35
Straight on or...?
My front left tire nailed the curb, but hit from the side, so the curb hit the hubcap straight on.
ouch I did that once in the winter and everything is still good.
I bet you're fine. Just check and make sure everything is tight and not bent.
The tire looks bent, so maybe the rims?
Wow, I did somethin like that the other nigth, except i was goin 50 and hit a huge rock in the road, and needless to say I fucked up my front rim. The lip pushed in and now it won't hold air. But I drove this morning with a dnut on and everything seemed fine, except it pulled really bad to the right, but my other 3 rims are 18"s, so could this pulling be due to the small size of the donut.

i slid into a curb at about 25 with this nissan sentra i beat around in the winter time, and it wasnt even straight on, it was the pass side wheel, it totalled the wheel, cracked the windsheild, snapped a recently replaced cv axle, anti-sway bar was bent, wheel bearing was toast, tire was gone(needless to say!), and i bent the frame i guess. nissan said it couldnt be fixed. i tied the lower support to a tree and backed up real fast, replaced the axle wheel and tire, and the car drives like new LOL

check the gap on each side of the wheels see if there any differents, cause back in the day when i had my accord i ran into a curb like 30-40mpg tweek the whole front supension, end up buying a new driver side control arm cause it was bent and start rubbing the side walls badd, smell that tire burning, hehe...

Hmmm...I wonder if that's what's wrong w/my car. Right after I got my car, I was pulling onto one of the main drags back home and there was a bus coming, but I thought it'd stop at the bus stop right next to me (before it got to me), but it didnt', so I floored it, and not being used to power steering, I totally ran into the curb!!! :lol I swear I caught air!! The little compartment under the CC came out, my tassled came off my mirror, and just about everything else was thrown around!! :lol I stopped immediately at a gas station to check stuff out. There was a huge gouge out of my tire, and a big slice in it, too. Surprisingly enough, the tire is still good...I'm still driving on it...gotta love ToyosOriginally posted by maxoutracer

I don't think so...my car has a lean as well and i've never run into any curbs. Maybe the previous owner though? Does it pull to one side?

My alignment is nearly perfect, surprisingly enough. Yours leans, too, huh? Weird...it kinda bothers me!!
LOL sorry but this has to be the funniest thread that I have ever heard. Lesson #1 never joke around unless you know what your doing hehehe

ok, i have a friend with a 1999 cavalier w/bodykit, n the works as far as exterior goes, and he slammed his car into the curb while racing, he lost horribly (as always) **damn domestics** anyway, hes never won a race, but thats beside the point, he cracked one of his 15-spoke 19's at the part where the spoke meets the rim...he cracked the rim at the endof about 5 spokes, and completely bent his axle, tie-rod-end, and had to replace all of his balljoints, but even with all that, he managed to drive home with no trouble....just remember, something small that goes wrong can cause a BIG problem, but at the same time, have a BIG thing go wrong, and usually never have any trouble...so, u you should just check urcar ou, jack it up, and check that u didnt warp the rim by puttin the car in neutral and spinning the wheel, also, compare side to sode between left and right, and if at all possible, compare ur car to another 3g that has no problems, and then come back....
