Im diving out of work tonight and its freaking dark. My windows were fogged up and I thought i had enouhg clearance, but my rear D/s tire ended up going over the 6" concrete curb. The car doens't feel the same after. No broken noiuse, but it feels rougher than before. How can I check for a bent rim? or what else might this have done? I know that there can be a lot, but Im not sure what could have been hurt. I was going like 15 Mph.

They are on the front wheels rearwards of the shocks, they are the bits that come off of your steering, on the gt4 they are about half way up the shock, not sure on your car. If you can take a photo (jpeg) and I`ll put an arrow on it pointing out your track rod ends if you cant find them.
A way to test that your trackrod ends are gone is to grab the left and right side of the wheel and try to rock your hands back and forth, (not in the direction of rotation), movement this way will indicate worn track rod ends, jacking up your car will help but not necessary. |
