A couple of weeks ago, I hit a HUGE pot hole. I believe I blown my strut ( front right ), I was curious if my strut was blown, if my wheel would have some camber ( inwards ) and my wheel would need to be turned alittle to the right in order to go straight? ( alignment ). Btw, I ahve stock S14 SE suspension in there now.

Thanks

george

Also, what are the symptons of a bent frame?

If its just the struts, then I plna on getting the NISMO S-Tune. What do you think? I don't need full coilovers because this is my DD.

nah thats not strut related

you should try getting an alignment, and theyll be able to tell you if you bent something or if it just got knocked out

I did, I took it to a tire / susp place and they said my tie rods seem tight and I blown a strut.. Also, they think I might have bent my frame.. but the damager to my fender was so minimal. Would a bent frame really casue the wheel to have camber?



Would a bent tie-rod have those types of symptoms? Like when I turn on the left side, it feels fine.. but if I make a right turn... the wheel is VERY easy to turn.. like almost takes no effort...
