hit the curb

[bz_2.0T]

last night i accidentally hit the curb needless to say my front right huff is fucked totally which is the least of my worries right now. now if i hold the car's steering wheel straight it pulls hard right, i have to drive while holding the steering at an angel i took the car to the dealer today got my winter tires and rims and told them about the accident they told me that they have to put it on an alignment machine to find out whats wrong, which would cost $160 alone

im almost certain that its just not alignment and im worried that i've bent suspension arm. however, there arent any noises or roughness to it

can someone recommend a good mechanic that i can take the car to? somewhere that you have experience with?

thanks!

how hard did you hit it?

about 20km or less

Get the car fixed, alignment doesn't just go out that far instantly, something is definately bent, please get it fixed before you make it worse.

GTEK Auto is my performance mechanic works on my Mercedes, 911 and my VW.

Give him a ring his name is Jack www.gtekauto.com Tell him Pierre referred you.

Post a pic of your wheel. I'm pretty sure my buddy Rick at Precision Rim can fix it easy. He fixed my buddy's Volk TE37 forged wheel... He hit the curb sideways at 60km and the limp folded flat the the spokes. It balanced and looked like new after he was done with it.
