Well it was snowing here in NY..and I skidded on the ice and I hit a curb pretty hard with my wheels, no body damage. Besided the fact that I messed up one of my rims, my steering is alittle off. Like when the wheels are straight, the steering wheel is alittle to the left. Also, my ride doesnt feel as smooth. But that might be because of the wet ground or something. Any ideas or similar situations??
My car might be slow, but at least it looks nice!

You bent something dude take it to an alignment shop and they'll tell you how bad it is.

Well I just took out for a long drive now and there doesnt seem to be any problems other than the steering wheel being off centered when the wheels are straight. The ride is smoother. I messed up one of my rims but not that bad. It just needs to be redipped. Anyway, when the steering is off, all that is usually needed is an alighnment, am I correct??

After hitting a curb you very well could of bent your rim. It's impossible to tell without taking it in. It's possible that all you might need is an alignment but in all honesty I'd imagine your rim is bent. Could be even worse then that if you hit the curb hard enough. Take it in before you ruin it anymore and find out the real problem.
