I recently bought 2 new front tires, and left the ones in the back. All 4 were balanced. But 1 day after i hit a curve with my real right wheel. The rim got scratched. Its been jumpy ever since. I had them rebalanced maybe thinking it was the rim, however it is till jumpy. My question is how do i know its not the suspension that i messed up.
Should i take the car for a 4 wheel alignemnt, and if its something that the real wheel has to be fixed, can anybody do this, and how much should i expect on charges.... -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years...

sounds like a bent rim. You'll need to buy a new one.

they dont balance rotors, look for grooves on the face of the rotor, check your suspension arms too and make sure one isnt bent

QUOTE but if its warped, wouldnt they tell me on the balancing? They might, but not necessarily. You can still balance a rim that is bent. It is also possible that the tire was damaged; either one can cause the symptoms you describe. Rotate the tires and see if the problem moves to the front. It is most likely not related to the alignment, and I would not suspect the brake discs if it happened after you hit a curb.

haha, love the sarcasm, i bent one of my wheels a while ago, sucks, if they dont charge you an arm n leg for alignment, i highly reccomend it every now n then, i check mine monthly and every other month or so tweak it a lil, have ALOT of potholes around here n sometimes ya just can avoid em
