Hey, been a long time since I've posted here.

Last saturday night I hit a curb going straight, with the side of the wheel ( front left ). The usual stuff happened, slashed tire ( brand new Hydroedge dammit! ), slightly scuffed wheel, and thrown out alignment ( steering wheel was about 30degrees turned left to go straight ). I was going about 30kmh.

Now the thing is, I was in Ottawa and had to get back to QUebec city the next morning so no repair possible before leaving. I put the rear wheel up front and the spare at the back, and drove back to quebec at about a 100kmh. It's a 500km drive roughly.

Now I had a new tire put on and an alignment done. The car drives fine and goes perfectly straight. However, there is a bad vrrrrrrrrooooomm........vrrrrrrroooom......vrrrooooommm ( quite slow pace )kind-of vibration that is apparent above 100kmh. As I go faster the noise and vibration increase in pace too. I have driven up to 160km/h with it and the car drives fine, but that damn vibration is extremely annoying.

It gets worse when I steer right at highway speeds.

Now both front tires installed right now are the ones I drove with the car disaligned from ottawa on sunday. THe new tire is at the back. Could I have simply worn the front left tire aat an angle?

It DOES seem like a bad bearing, but there aint no play in the wheel if I try to shake it, and the vibration was not there on my way from ottawa.

THanks all for your help!!!!

Check the wear on your front tires, as well as look at your tie rod and half shaft. YOu may have bent/broken one when you hit. Sometimes even if it seems like you weren't going very fast when you hit somthing, it can still do a lot of damage.

The front tire doesn't seem to have any uneven wear, and when they did the alignment they said nothing was broken.


Cheers,
