Pothole Owned me - Click HERE for Original Thread

beeb
So i bent my rim pretty bad.. but worse.. I get a really bad shudder when the car is in any gear comming from the wheel that hit the massive edmonton pothole

any ideas on what it could be?

how much is it going to cost me :(

car is a 98 GSX and I hit the drivers side front

FIRST!

poowwn3ed.

sorry, couldn't resist. but seriously, get the wheel fixed (i highly reccomend egberts). in the meantime rotate that wheel to your right rear so that you don't feel the vibrations as much. also check out your front end to make sure theres no damage to ball joints, tie rods etc.

best of luck, i hate these roads, 2 bent rims and one cracked all summer long. egberts reparied them everytime on time for a good price, ask SkiTtlZ about them too.

its a write off. sell your car for parts.

another vote for Egberts, i cracked a rim and had the same vibration you mention from it, It was pretty bad damage as there was a 3 inch long bend and a 2.5 inch long crack, as well the hub was knocked crooked within the spokes. Egberts had it done a half day after i dropped it off! and for pocket change. The wheel balanced perfectly as well, everything is silky smooth again.

Call the pot hole line see if they'll pay the damages.

Hahaha i tried the hotline, they just passed the buck off on the contractor. Lafarge.

i got raped by a pothole last winter...
i called the hotline and complained.
they said i need proof of this pothole and what it had done.
when i went to go take a picture it was already filled.
