Hit a curb going 50

Hi everyone,

I hit a curb going about 50, scratched my rims pretty bad and definitely threw my alignment off. Now my steering wheel is crooked when I’m driving straight. Truck pulls to the right. Also after impact my vehicle stability control system and pre collision system started flashing on my dash and said “go see your dealer”. Not sure if anything is broken or not. Toyota can’t get me in their shop until next week. Anyone have an idea of what I might have messed up?

 

Is your spindle bent?

 

That first picture, take it exactly like that to compare to the other side.

To see if the knuckle is bent, compare the distance from the tire to the knuckle on each side.

The truck is unhappy because it wants to know that straight is straight, the abs sees a crooked steering wheel.

 

Well done


Take it to a body shop.

 

get it fully checked like suggested here, but maybe you got lucky and just threw your toe out. that'll be a simple realignment.

 

Sorry for your loss. Part out?

 

You just need an alignment and some new wheels.

 

I slid into a curb long ago with a toyota pickup, same damage as you. It actually twisted the frame where the lower control arm bolts on and needed to go to a frame shop to get it straight. New left suspension also.

 

You can take to body shop, dealer, or trusted mechanic or off road shop that has alignment machine. You can also file insurance IF it gets too expensive, but I would avoid if possible. Look on here for the wheel cheap.

I would find mechanic or off road shop I trust with good rates and alignment machine as best route.

 

What’s wrong with next week to stay alive?

 

Username is on point.

 

I've got these wheels and tires for sale.

 

Many moons ago I went into a guard rail on Corolla. I just needed and Alignment and a new hub cup ( couldn't find in a pile of snow). Drove that bitch to past 200k
What are you complaining about?

 

+1 on taking it to a shop to lift up and compare each side. On a side note, not only did I hit a curb like you going 40 but drove over it. No damage.

 

Insurance claim .

 

Get an Alignment and chick your spindles to see if they are bent or not.

As for a flashing light, vehicle may think you were in a collision and the only way to reset is is by going to a dealership and having them do a calibration test.

 

Alignment is out and that's the cause of the VSC alarm. Beyond that just check for what's bent. Tierods, knuckle/spindle, etc.
