so i'm driving down va's horrible highways and all the sudden BOOM i hit a huge bump where they had patched the road. cracked my rim in two places and now if i go over 50 the car rattles my bones, just did it so the rim is still on there and holding air (for now) so i was wondering what you guys think it could be. i had two ideas on mind either i bent the rim itself a little or i bent my axle. which do you think. its the front left wheel be the way.

 

umm if you cracked you're rim, than im pretty fucking sure thats your problem


duh?

what car is this?

 

its a bent rim for sure, or cracked in your terms, i have two "slightly" bent rims on my integra and shook real bad but i had them rebalanced and now it shakes a little between 60-70

i was just making sure bc most people have either more than 1 car...


but who cares what car this wheel is on...a cracked wheel is a cracked wheel..

 

If you had weights glued to your rim for balancing they could have been knocked off.

 

well i put the stocks back on and it went away so it was definetly the rim. and i said it was cracked because it has about 2 5" cracks in it now. so thanx for the advice everyone, well reassurance really that it wasn't a bigger problem. and be warned of the highway patches.. the're killer.

 

yeah try to avoid potholes?

 

it wasn't a pothole. like i said it was where they had fixed a pothole or something and i was going around a turn and never saw it coming till it was too late and i can't really swerve out of the way goin 75 in traffic

 

so you hit.... a fixed pothole?

or bettery yet, the absense of a pothole? so... road?
