This morning while driving to work hit a massive pothole, passangers front tyre. Starting pulling to the right so went to get my wheel alligned and they said it was +8 off( not to sure what that means). I only had time to do the allignment and couldnt check if anything was broke, anyways everytime i turn right i feel like my car is going over pebbles.

I know the obvious answer is to change my route so i only have left turns but sometime a man needs to go right.

Anyone think what it can be.

Heard on radio this week that Yorkshire has worst roads in England for pot holes and official figures reckon 1/3 of all cars have some pot hole damage to them. So exactly why do I pay my road fund licence and council tax?
