Steering on the 4th Gen
Hey everybody,
They other day when it was raining, i ran into a curb at about 35 mph (dont ask me how), but i know for sure that i dented my front right rim, but my problem now is that it seems that the steering is off, I had the wheels balanced today, but that made little to no difference. If it is rack and pinion, could the rack or the pinion have slipped a couple of teeth. Thx for your help (Sorry about the lack of technicality)

If this is the case, you prob just need a front end alignment.

It pulls to the right today, and i went in for my 7,500 mile checkup today and asked them to balance the tires, is that the same as checking the alignment, and if not, how can i do it myself?

Should not cost you more than $60 bucks.
