So it snowed, got icy, and I hit a curb with my RF wheel. After the impact the steering wheel was vibrating and the alignment was off. The (stock black steel) rim was bent up pretty badly.
I got the rim replaced at the dealership today (ouch...$$$) and now the vibration's gone. The alignment is still off (pulling to the right).
I'm worried that if I take it in for an alignment, and tell them that I curbed it, that they'll start replacing front end parts that don't need to be replaced. Is there any way I can tell if I've bent anything important? (nothing looks bent to me but....I'm not a mechanic)
I'm thinking of just taking it in and saying "do an alignment" and then seeing if THEY tell me that anything's bent first, before I tell them I curbed it.
Here's pics if that helps... Any advice is greatly appreciated.
