oooppsss my bad didn't read. Bump for you anyway

 

Not sure how this site sells them so cheap...not sure if they are some Chinese knock off or what. But:

if you bent the wheel, you better check the control arm also. i would have the alignment checked and make sure the guy looks at the control arms and tie rod.

 

Good point...our a-arms tend to crack (they don't really bend). Take a close look.

 

Thanks for the heads up, here are some pictures.



As you can see it is only slightly bent, when I spin the wheel it wobbles pretty good. the car pulled to the right very bad on the drive home. So I should also look for..
1. A-arm damage
2. Tie rod damage

any shop could spot this right?

 

ouch.... in addition, you should check the hub and knuckle assembly. these are the parts that the wheel and brake rotor attach to, you can bend the hub and it will eventually cause the wheel bearing to go bad.
edited for clarification: even if your car gets an alignment and it feels good, if the hub is bent the wheel bearing will still eventually fail.

make sure you look at the frame where the A arms attach to make sure there are no bent bolts or bent mounting points.

sucks to go through this but based on your car pulling to the right, your alignment is screwed at the very least. hopefully, it's not worse than that. sad to say but sometimes the little things can be expensive to fix.

 

Is the tire flat also? If so take it to a tire facility to make sure the sidewall isn't damaged also.
