Hit The Kerb At 30Mph

[twinterx]

Hey guys, my partner was on the way to work this morning when a man hole cover or something was sticking out of the ground, anyway she felt the need to avoid it, and ended up hitting and going up the kerb at roughly 30mph, now her car is knocking quite loud, and pulling left,

its an 03 streetka, whats this likely to be? Just tracking or bent steering parts?

Possible damage to the steering or suspension. A visit to a garage offering free tracking checks will have a look first. They can't/won't be able to do it properly if it's damaged.

Also, check the wheel itself

Ok im going down to her work in a couple of hours to look, anything that should be obvious that i should look for?

Compare the alignment of the bumped side to the other when it's set straight ahead.

Also check for bulges in the tyre wall, mishapen tyre, cracks/dents in the rim.

Rock the steering to see if one wheel moves more than the other.

I would suspect bent steering/suspension parts. As previously mentioned, wheel and tyre damage.

Thankyou guys, are steering parts pricey for the streetka?

The springs can also snap frequently so check them too. In my experience parts cost no more than average.
