Ok guys. Im sorry for all the posts in the last 24 hours, but i could really use your help on this one. I found the problem. When i put the steerting wheel in the center, my left wheel was perfectly aligned.. heres a pic of it...



Okay, now heres a pic of the right side...



Now i see that both the wheels are NOT aligned, so i take a look under the car to see that something on the right side is bent... heres a pic of that



now a pic of the left side (which is aligned properly)



Clearly there is something very wrong. Im not very good with this kind of stuff, so i could really use some help. I have an appointment at the dealership tommorrow, but i dont know if i want to drive down there with this going on, its like a 20 minute highway drive... any thing could help me right about now, so please let me know .. what exactly is wrong, how it could be fixed, how much would it cost? Thanks.

 

if you want them to look at it, your gonna have to drive it there.

 

Do not drive it.
Hve it towed. You will destroy the tire.

 

Yeah. I could get it towed, but i dont think ill need that. I can just drive slowly/carefully for once. But i really want to know what this "thing" is called and if they are going to have to replace it, or just fix it...

 

You need to have it towed, or trailered there. Your insurance should pay for that. If you drive it that distance, you will damage your tire, and maybe more.

 

You will need to replace it. If you tried to bend it back into shape, the metal would lose it's integrity and be weak.

 

Okay, thanks guys. Now, does anyone know how much it would cost to get this fixed? what exactly is bent?

DO NOT DRIVE THAT CAR. You will just do more damage to it than you have already. Have it towed or flatbed. A 20 minute freeway ride is more than enough to waist that tire and then some.

 

Do you know exactly what that part is called, or how much it usually costs?
