Clipped the curb on the Ice

I was pulling out of the local 7-11 and as I did I slid a little and my rear right wheel hit the curd.. I didn't think it was that hard.. today I feel a vibration so I go to the car wash and clean all the ice and snow out of the wheels.. hit the highway and sure enuff there is a new vibration.... Think there is a chance a just knocked the tire out of balance??
That would be the cheeper fix....

Thats what I hope it... I can deal with that... just don't want to have to deal with an allignment yet... and there is no phical damage to the rim at all

OK The car is booked in tomorow to check the balance.. keeping my fingers crossed that thats all it is

Have someone follow behind you to see if the tire wobbles cause if it does you may have bent the hub. Be very careful till you get it checked out.

Good luck.

HAVE SOMEONE FOLLOW YOU TO SEE IF IT WOBBLES! Just to be on the safe side. I mean I hope I'm wrong but better safe then sorry right?

That was an interesting read.. thanks for the info...... as fate would have it.. I cant get my car to vibrate again... as suddenly as it started it stopped.. maybe there was some snow or ice throwing off the balance or somthing...
