either way take it to a alignment shop or you'll eat up the front tires in no time if the alignment is out of wack
Compensation? Really?

What was posted speed limit? i don't think there is going to be a dip if the posted speed limit is 60mph... That dip consequence/punishment for going fast on local.

oh he said a dip as in a purposely made dip? lol I misread and understood it as a huge pot hole. In that case, I do not think you can get compensation from the city

you can TRY and get compensation out of the city, i don't know about for dips... unless it was a dip due to damage to the road. pot holes, and debris on the freeway are possible because the city is supposed to keep the freeway clean and roads drivable.

but of course, getting money out of the city takes forever. i heard it can take up to 6 months to get money out of this kind of deal

Go to Hanlon's tire in San Bruno bro, its 49.99 and have Victor do it. If possible make them use the alignment machine all the way on the right. It's the latest Hawkeye Hunter machine

That would be great but it's very unlikely. The only sign you'll ever see is for a bump in the road when it's being repaved. All I can say is stay alert and learn where the big dips and potholes on the roads that you frequently drive on.
