Trouble with the Daewoo, and it is all my fault!!!! Ahhhhhhh

Post by SuperDuperDaewoo »

Today I was driving, I made a left hand turn and HIT A CURB. I hit the curb with the front passenger side tire going approximately 20-25 mile per hour. My Enkei RS6 rim is ruined. The reason I am posting is because of the problems that happened after.

Below is a list of things that I screwed up:

-The steering wheel is now offset at 45 degree angle when driving straight. What does that mean?

-When I am driving and I let go of my steering wheel (safely) it does not pull to the left or the right. I do not know what that mean either.

-When I make a right hand turn the power steering does not fully engage. It will not return the wheel back to center immediately like when I make a left hand turn. What does that mean?

Thank you, I know I can always count on you to help out when a fellow Daewoo brother needs it.

I did the exact same thing and go it fixed, go have your wheel rebalanced and take off the wheel, look at the Ball joint because thats what i ruined and it was just fixed, then go and take it to be aligned, no its not the steering shaft b/c its rack and pinion and that couldnt be the problem.

I Hit a curb straight on with the wheel turned and the brakes locked at 45mph and the onlything that was bent was the ball join, itll cost 41 dollars for the part and im not sure about labor, that sucks cuz i only ruined a stock rim but it sounds like yours was nice.

My tie rod checked out. It was just a ball joint, you should take your wheel off and look at it.

Maybe take the wheel off, take some pictures, and show us. We might be able to see what is wrong in there.

maybe you dislocated your control arm, i recon it is backed up a few inches and that causes the steering missbehaving.

anyways this is a speculation contest... go to an alighnment shop and let them do a throughout inspection to the front end, 100% positive you bent some stuff.

Yeah... if you hit something hard enough to dent/ruin your wheel... you can count on something else being messed up in there.

If it makes you feel any better at all, I bought a lower control arm + ball joint for $50 shipped to my door (salvaged part). :)
