I hit a curb head on at a T intersection. Cosmetically the car is fine but now I can't pin point why my steering wheel is vibrating. I can't see any dents on the rim or any damage done to the rotors.

I was wondering if anyone has ever had a similar accident and can point me in the right direction.

Most like a wheel is bent and has excessive lateral run-out (a Hunter 9700 balancer could check this is 20 seconds), though it could be a bent tie-rod...

Imma make a more thourough inspection. Have you ever experienced an accident like mine? Just wondering.

Once on a snowy road in an '81 B2000 Mazda, I spun and hit high curb. Steel wheels back then but it was bent with no visible damage unless you spun it up an a balancer or used a dial indicator the check run-out.

Then there was the time I ran a Road King over a median strip--a T-bone sort of thing--in the rain, at night with all sorts of glare from mercury vapor lights, here in Florida. So there we were airborne on a 750 lb bike at 35 mph or so, with my soon-to-be wife (we didn't know it at that time) on the back. One of those "good thing shít sticks to vinyl" incidents...

Oh wow that's way scarrier than what I experienced. OK I see what you mean about the wheel balance. Thanks a lot for your help now ill look for a balanced with that brand name and check out the Aarm.
