Anyways.. you probably just need an alignment, and hopefully nothing else. How bad is the rim? i wanna see it! but that SUCKS!

I had something similar last night, everywhere it was just wet, then hit this little patch on a corner, stopped turning for that little bit, but I had enough room, that I only went over the line, and was able to safely return to my lane.

hmm lets see the rim is toast......and i doubt i just need an alignment...i think most of the rear susp on that side is bent wich blows......

Sounds like you bent some rear suspension parts. That's enough to change the rear alignment enough to cause the change in steering wheel position.

i really hope so ......

see if the steering wheel is cocked, or straight. Does it only go out of position when you're moving?

How hard did you hit the curb?

On the plus side, the rear suspension bits are cheaper, iirc.

Park the car with the front wheels straight . . . see if the steering wheel is cocked, or straight. Does it only go out of position when you're moving? How hard did you hit the curb?
