Need help!! Bent rim?!?!
Need help!! Bent rim?!?!
OK long story short: I lost control of the car after hitting a bad patch of gravel and spun the car sideways. In doing so I locked up the wheels (no ABS) the right front wheel went off the road and into a little ditch (nothing more than 2in deep). So i backed the car out and the right front was lightly thumping as I drove away. I checked the pressure and its fine. I stopped at work and switched the right front with the right rear and now the thumping is in the rear so
A: I created a flat spot on the tire from sliding it and locking up the wheels
or
B: I bent the rim.
But if the rim is bent wouldnt it be alot more noticeable than a light thumping feeling and would the tire still hold air? Should I just get new tires or get a new rim and tires? Please feel free to leave your opinions.
