hit a speed bump pretty bad

[KidChitownZ28]

So last night, i hit a speed bump at an adequately high speed. I didnt notice the bump til it was too late, i felt my car go into the air for a second actually. I initially didnt feel or see any damage to the car at all up until about 5pm today. I noticed that my driver's front wheel is now cambered in pretty bad. So i took the wheel off and didnt see anything broken of any sorts. So my question is, would an alignment be able to fix the camber?

It's possible, but it really depends on whether or not you bent something in the process... try to compare the passenger side pieces (control arm, etc) and see if you can see any difference.

i was going to but it was getting too dark to do so. as far as i could tell, everything looks normal. i am hoping that it's not anything major. i'll find out more tomorrow when i take it to Garett's. Figure im just not going into work and instead make sure my car is fine haha

thanks man. and yea, that's the way i see it too. on top of it looking like shit, i just dont want to risk anything more driving it as it is. even driving it to deerfield from my house tomorrow is making me nervous because its an hour drive

Need to take a look at your subframe carefully for any spots where it may have hit ! The Subframe may have taken a hit on the side where your cambered in as well.

Well thankfully, it was just some bent control arms and Garett was able to get the parts in really quick. I was quoted about a 4-hour wait but i was done in two hours. So a couple hours wait, a few hundred $ later, i'm back on the road with new control arms and an alignment. As usual, Garett and Deerfield Tire did not disappoint and took care of it really quickly

Nice!

Damn speed bumps & potholes

Good news. Did you actually ding them or did they bend from the impact

[KidChitownZ28]

they were bent. the left front wheel actually looked like one of those super lowered hondas with the wheels cambered in
