define slightly??

could be alot of things... if you hit it exactly when your wheels were parallel alot of the impact would be on the cv joints....i would assume. or your suspension is damaged ??? no idea.


were you driving a rhd? is that why you hit it?
:hitit: the curb that is..jk man

I thought RWD cars didnt have cv axles in the front.

My friend hit an icy patch on a turn two winters ago and smashed into a curb. It bent the axel and his car had to be towed, but if your car is still drivable than it sounds like your car will be fine.

I hit a median being an idiot in my FC back when I just got my license. One of those high like 4" tall ones, at about 50kmph. Bent the fuck out of my tie rod (i think thats what its called?) and cracked my rim. Fixed it all but car had a bad pull since that point on. If you don't feel any pull and the car generally seems fine, you're probably okay. Just get underneath and see if anything's bent or doesn't look right. You barely hit it, in terms of speed, so hopefully you're not in bad shape.

Sorry to be a dick (actually not really) but what the hell do you think people on a forum can do for you? We can't see shit. You have to LOOK at your car to figure out what the hell is wrong with it. We can't guess. It could be many things. It could be something that was ready to break and the curb sped up the process. It may feel like it is driving fine, but obviously there is an issue if it doesn't even look right.

Get your car looked at by someone appropriate rather than a bunch of 17 year old jokesters that want to make fun of you for being a RHD bandwagon jumper.

Get it looked at and fixed before something else breaks, and you hurt or kill someone because some douche on Beyond said it would be "OK."

If the car is JDM it has to be looked at by a shop that specializes in JDM cars.

Atleast you're honest about hitting a curb. My advice to you, go get it checked under a hoist instead of posting it up here. You're gonna get difference answer from everyone.

The alginment on your wheels might be off. Also, the part of the wheel that you hit might have been crumpled, causing it to wobble.

Heres a paint diagram:

Awhile back I was fucking around in our Mazda 6 and hit a curb pretty much parallel (front and rear left wheels hit it) going around 40-50km/h. Replaced the wheels then brought it to Mazda, turns out I bent the frame. :drama: Hope that's not the case with yours but it might be somewhere to look.

Keep an eye out on your wheel as well for the next week or two. If you see a bubble, get that shit changed immediatly
