As the other post mentioned I hit a pot hole that was bad..

I measured the rim distance to the body and found one of them is sitting about 1/8" further back than the other side. Of course I didn't pay attention to this stuff before.

Is there a caster adjustment on the front that can be messed up from pot holes. Or would I have a bent control arm?
I looked under the car and the lower control arm seem to be a Y shape and very strong and not the I-beam type I was thinking about, so most likely OK?

How much do you think it would it cost to have the dealer check this kind of stuff? 1 hour labor?

 

I think I have read that the drivers side (could be passenger im not 100% sure)wheels stick in a little more than the passenger wheel if that is it dont worry about it and it is normal.
Dealer shouldnt charge you anything to identify the problem if there is one at all.

 

Thanks, maybe I didn't have my steering completely straight also.
How much does the dealer charge for alignment? is it about $100?

 

I dont know where in cali you are but firestone offers lifetime alignment for like 160-200 the dealership will probably charge you around that for one. Just so you know I have hit some potholes (60+mph) bad enough to put a 4 inch bend in my RE30 which are praised as some of the stronger wheels on the market and popped my tire. The dealership said everything was fine with the car.

 

Have you tried to claim your damage with caltrans?
I bent the lip of my 2is wheel I chechk overnight no tire bubble.
Would like to check the toe align..


Was that your is350 that bend the re30?

 

are you talking caster or camber? those two settings in the alignment are very different. camber is the tilting of the wheel inward (negative camber), and caster is more of position of the wheel forward of suspension. It sounds like you are talking camber.
