So last night I was heading home from a buddy's house at a little after midnight when some ****** decides to just pull out of a neighborhood right in front of me when I'm going about 40mph and caused me to swerve and the back-end kicked out. I bought this car about a month ago and the guy I bought it off had some pretty warn Michelin SS's on the car and I haven't got around to replacing them yet. The guy pulled out in front of me when I was like 10 feet away from him and I swerved pretty hard just from panicking (probably didn't need to swerve that hard but was scared since I just got this car) but the backend kicked out so now that the back ends out I start sliding towards a curb and started to brake but realized I would head into the curb sideways and possibly snap an axle and break a rim or screw the whole car up so I decided to gas it so the backend would go straight up the curb instead of sidewaysor at an angle and I'm sitting there heart pounding fast as **** and I get out in preparation to cry because I figured my dream car I just got was done for. Luckily the only damage I could see was a slightly curbed wheel but the wheels were already curbed from the previous owner and also a scrapped right side skirt but that's it. I drove it and the car was already out of alignment and pulled to the right and driving it on a flat road I didn't notice any difference in the way it drives it still pulled to the right the same amount it did before and there's no vibrations in the steering or anything. My main question is if there is possibly anything that could be busted that I don't know of? I have no idea how fast I went up the curb because this all happened so fast but if I had to guess I would say 20-25mph since I slammed on the brake and did like a 270 degree skid. I already had planned on taking the car today to get a full detail to make it look brand new again so I won't have the car until Thursday and its making me nervous that I have to wait a few days to see if there's any other damage. I'm truly shocked that was the only damage and this car must be built pretty darn tough if that's really the only damage

Sad to say but a lot of things could have gone wrong.. Your rims may have cracked due to impact, which will slowly leak out air, suspension components could have god damaged, exhaust dents, etc.. take it to a mechanic and get it checked!

i'd venture to guess there's a lot more damage than just the curbed wheel. have a mechanic look at it.

Also, priorities. It would've been a good idea to postpone the detail until you got this sorted out. Possibly your alignment and tires as well depending on how bad they currently are.

Hopefully there isn't any major damage other than what you've already seen. Good luck.

I still have the warranty on the car so if I took it into the dealer to get checked do you think they'd charge for the inspection or what?

wheel bearing will prob go bad very soon, upper ball joint, lower ball joint, bent steering knuckle, bent tie rods/ends, bent lower control arm, bent shock.

a lot of car's lower control arms taking the initial impact to save the rest of the suspension. but i would take it to a good alignment place and let them measure things out to see if its the same from side to side.

Thank you everybody for the help and suggestions! I went out to the place and took a pic of where the back right wheel went up the curb

Take a close look at the four corners around the sunroof for dents/bulging. There have been some reports of the ISx50's having frame damage when hitting a curb hard enough.

sorry to hear about the drama. I would have a tech at the dealership look at it really closely. You need to have the suspension checked, alignment, and a host of other evals. Thankfully you weren't hurt

GreyISF

Wow shoot I never heard about that! but I checked and all of that seems to be okay thank goodness

GreyISF

Yeah ill be taking it into the dealer sometime next week when I get back in town and I'll have them check that stuff, thank you!
