allignment problem

[mhth726]

I hit a curb a couple days ago pretty hard trying to make a u-turn. It bent the outside part of one of my rims. The steering wheel also has to be turned a little to the left in order for it to drive straight. It still tracks like it did before after making this adjustment. I put the spare on, and I know I will need to get a new rim. I was curious as to what may be wrong with it.

I'd say you bent either a tierod/end, spindle arm, or the steering box.

On an 05 unlimited, How much you think that might cost?

I'd say it should cost no more than your insurance deductible including an alignment.

Don't be afraid of a minor claim unless your on risk insurance. It's what you pay it for.
