Default My car vs curb

last night i lost control trying to hotdog in the rain during a turn and my back passanger side tire hit a sidewalk curb. the next day (today) i noticed i curbed the sh*t outta my rim. now its making a squeezy noise each time the tire rotates while driving. had a friend said it looked like its doing an in and out motion when im driving as she drove behind me. sorta like a "dogwalk" . how it woddles. im thinking its a bend, ,ding in the rim and thats what gives the rotation of the tire when in motion that physical appearance of it being lobsided or dented. or im thinking i ****ed up the rear axle BUT the car rides fine, just like before the accident. im bring it to ford tomroow. what do you guys think? what should i tell ford other then waht happen? any pointers u can give me things to tell the mechanics at ford so they know what to look for so i can give them an idea i dont wanna get ripped offf....anyways thanks guys.

p.s. if its just the rim , i hear the 18x9 dd black bullits from msutangtuing.com are out of stock, are they ? also should i get a GT axle if it is the axle? arent they 3:55 gears? thanks for ur help guys and gals

i dunno man that sounds kind of bad. your lucky you werent going faster and flipped. were you showing offfor yourself offor a girl or wut?

back to the problem thoughitsounds like maybe youcould of bent the axle.if you do need to replace the rear axle ford wont replace it with the 8.8 if your doing it through the insurance. you also should want to get an alignment. but if you do need to replace the rear and not just the rim its going to be about a grand in total.

that sounds pretty bad. and chances are, if you have aftermarket rims, that it sure as hell wasnt the rim thats bent although its probably damaged
