I spun out, what should I look for?

[antirice]

as most of you know, I spun out yesterday and landed in a ditch, and I was wondering if I should look for anything broken or anything that normally gets screwed up when you do this

[graden]

the only this i would realy look for is check the rad support..... but the damage didint look to bad so i wouldint be to concerned

[SC/TGrandAm]

yeah it didnt look too bad i doubt anything is messed up but get under the car and look esp around the front end. Just make sure no pipes like condensor lines are broke or nothing is hanging down.

good news, there was a vibration, but that was only from the air pressure being too low, I may have bent the rim more than it already was, I had it up on the lift today at Tuffy and looked at it and couldn't see anything out of the ordinary, so I just need a new front rim and I'll be good to go

You seem awful happy about that...heheh...have you priced those yet?:rolleyes:

[antirice]

what? its just a stock black rim, I got offered one by another guy at Tuffy for $20

Alignment - get the alignment checked. That's not something you can eyeball on a lift.

[antirice]

really? the techs said it was fine, I guess I can have 'em look again, they do it for free

[Jason Lesbirel]

They said what was fine? In order to properly check the front-end alignment, it needs to be on an alignment machine - I have yet to meet a tech that can tell me that the camber and toe settings are factory true just from looking at the suspension bits.

ok, I'll have it looked at this weekend, Its going in to get its Cam seal replaced (its been leaking since before I got it) and I get paid, so I might as well get as much done as possible

[wiccanferret]

Oh....nevermind...i was thinking of the OEM rims on my GT. They're hella expensive.

Most of all you should look at your speed before taking a corner...

:cop:

[wiccanferret]

Why? It's fun to run! :angel2:

Check your wheel bearings for any play. Jack your car up on to jack stands , grip tire firmly and shake it side to side up and down, some play is acceptable but if it moves more than a 1/4 inch take it to a professional.
