Front end out of alignment after going over a curb
hey guys i hope you guys can help me with some knowledge i don’t have, two days ago i had a little accident, went over a curb doing maybe 10mph. no body damage and wheel is little bit dented in but doesn’t mess up the balance. however it’s out of alignment while steering wheel is center my right wheel is pointing straight and my left wheel(one went over the curb) is pointing slightly toe out. the car doesn’t pull to one side when i drive it and when i visually checked LCA and tie rod nothing seems to be bent or damage. I will be taking in for alignment check first thing when i’m free but the concerned part is after the small incident my traction control and abs lights came on and stayed. this morning when i had to go to work the lights were gone! and was able to use my cruise control. right before i pull into my work parking lot those lights came back on.. could it just be because of out of alignment? or are we talking about replacing the speed sensor..

I did something similar and ended up bending a strut and tie rod. I got an alignment right away and that fixed most issue but I would hear a clunk when backing out of spots and it was slowly coming back out of alignment. Ended up replacing everything for around $100 from the local buy / sell forum.

A good alignment shop should be able to tell you what (if anything) needs to be replaced.
