stupid winter fun
Saturday, December 10, 2005 3:42 PM
so i was doing some snow drifting the other day and being stupid and hit the curb with my left front tire. i don't know if i'm paranoid or not, but it seems like my ride is now bouncy and when i turn my wheel to the left all the way to turn, there is a snap.
sound familiar anyone? any suggestions?

Sounds worse than me. I was going to work this morning, when a car turns coming from the other direction. So i swerve not to hit him, but to hit a snow bank. I was dead stuck. Luckily, my boss has an Avalanche, and was able to pull me out, with no damage on the outside, just the air dam was broke, and tons of snow under the car. Personally i think im lucky in the deal, secondly, the guy that was turning was an absolute idiot. He claims he didnt see me, when its day light out, and i drive a black car and theres snow all around except on my car! How could he not see that! I think the irony on top of all of it was, he drove a J Body too, a 4 door Cavalier.

when is the J-on-J crime gonna end.

similar thing happened to me back in February, old bitch in an exploder drove right through a stop sign, tagged my fender and front end sending me up an icy snow bank, and didn't stop until half a block away. things she said that made me angry-

1. oh i'm sorry i didn't see you
- same deal, black car driving through aboot 3 inches of fresh snow, of course she didn't see the stop sign either

2. i thought i hit a garbage can, he he.
- ok so that one made me mad because it was probably true


back on topic, good luck with the diagnosis and repair

Well I'd recomed before any more high speed trips that you at least look it over and make sure its safe. If you damaged any of the front end parts traveling at higher speeds places more strain on them and if they are damaged you could have a part failure. And that could get ugly.

Be safe check it out.

Sounds like the SunPlow knocked the alignment out of wack. Take it to Merchent's and have them look at the ball joints also.

^ditto, get front end parts checked, check wheel for dents on lip, get wheel balanced, get alignment, most likely it sounds like it needs wheel balanced

The vibrations may be because their is snow on the inside of your rims, this has happened to me a few times when i go out and have fun, snow gets packed in there and when i go anything above 55 you can feel a vibration, all i do is stop scrap the snow out and i'm good to go , hopefully thats what is wrong with yours so you don't have to spend all the money on fixing it.
