Default HELP!! PROBLEM & HAVE QUESTIONS

I Have A 2003 Lexus Gs430, My Car Spun Out The Other Night In The Snow And Hit The Median, No Damage To Outside , But The Car Has A Grinding Sound From The Front, The Inner Fender Moldings, Left Side Popped Out And Is No There, The Right Side Is Rubbin The Right Wheel In The Front!! The Car Rocks Side To Side When I Hit Over 40 Or Hit A Bump, Which Feels Like Its Goin To Fish Tale Kinda? Also The Car Just Had The Front Right Wheel Bearing And The Hub Done, Is The Left Need To Be Done? The Steering Wheel Is Crooked Too.... I Need To Know What Problems Are Notorious In The Gs430 And What The Rockin Back And Forth Can Be!!!!

it sounds like u bent the rim back and u probally broke a wheel hub and shifted your control arms!
your rim is def. grinding on the brake calipper and u probally loosin the bearings in the hub
but i could be wrong untill u get it up on a lift

Yah The Wheel Isnt Touchin The Caliper Thats For Sure, But I Did Guess The Control Arms, As For The Shifting Side To Side, What The Hell Is That And The Hub Was Done On The Right Side With The Bearing, Is The Left Going?

The left bearing could be shot, it won't last long if it is bad, after a few miles it will melt down and cause all kinds of problems. There's also the chance you bent something, tie rod, idler arm, control arm, etc. get that GS up on a lift quick and check things out.

Sounds like you twisted a rim. That would cause it to wander back and forth. Probably bent a tie rod also, or at least seriosuly knocked something out of whack to make the steering wheel crooked.

So what happened that caused you to wipe out at speed like that?
