I was on my way to work after surprise visiting my grandma. Getting onto the Turnpike, I was going the speed I normally go wich is twice the recommended speed (I drive a Celica, it’s built for that), but I totally forgot to take into account how it had just rained for the first time in forever and the roads were slippery as hell. Next thing I knew I was sliding sideways and I hit my front left wheel really hard on the divider ledge… No body damage. Just scratched the rim of my rim (easy fix) but now my alignment is so whack and my car doesnt drive straight and if I go past 60, my car shakes. Mechanic tomorrow inbetween my exams and work, hopefully this will be fixed quickly, I don’t care about the cost.
I really need to stop being a cocky bitch with Angel, maybe reading that article yesterday about Celicas was a ego boosting mistake..
This fucking sucks.
ahh besides the rain you also forgot that it is very front heavy and FWD car, an understeer threesome made in hell ! Keep in mind that while it may need an alignment that may not be the only issue here. A quick test is to find a deserted carpark and do full lock in a circle left and right. If you hear clicking noises then you have damaged CV joints (arguably the weak link in a FWD suspension set up), beyond that you could have bent rods/arms which will show up in the alignment or the rim itself is warped slightly. Good luck with it!
