cut off - hit curb
well of course another snowstorm today (man this winter is draging on!)...coming home in town some lady pulls out in front of me and i slid off the road and caught the snowbank/curb....not sure how hard i hit it...not too fast but enoguh to give me a good jolt. Managed to smash out the foglight and break a bunch of plastic shrouds around the rad support. The bumper around the foglight is all cracked up. The light is minor but im wondering how hard you have to hit the wheel before you have to worry about allignment? still drove fine, no shimmy or wobble....I think it drove straight but with the snow its hard to tell.

Re: cut off - hit curb
Yea, these things are tanks. I hit a curb a few years ago in the snow, wheels completely and whet straight into it. Nothing broke or was misaligned.

Re: cut off - hit curb
I dont know I accidentally backed into a pole going 5-10 mph at most and bent a control arm. So I dont know how tank-like they are haha.

Re: cut off - hit curb
I've done the same thing, when I first got the car a few winters ago.
OEM tires were nearly bald, hit curb....bent the rim really good. Had to get a new rim (and new tires) and seemed to be no adverse results. Just changed my inner tie rod tonight, loose as a goose. Happened to be the right front, where I had hit the curb.
