I had an idea it might be that or the leveling sensors, but kinda ruled it out since it only affects one side and not both.

I called the insurance company earlier today and got the claim started.

Well I called and scheduled an appt to have the wheel replaced and the headlamp looked at. The SR on the phone said that the light may just need adjusting. It's my understanding that the AFS lights CANT be adjusted since they autolevel themselves. The only adjustment really available is the ride height sensor but that adjust both headlights up and down at the same time, not individually. Rather than argue with him, I just went ahead and made the appt.

now that i have bent 1 rim on both: my winter rims and my summer rims, i try to run slightly lower then the max reccomended for the tires. I'd rather have a slightly harsher ride, then another bent rim. Roads in jerzy dont get fixed until october, when its almost time for new potholes anyway
