I hit a pothole the other day on the front passenger side There doesn't seem to be any damage to my wheel thank God but on acceleration the car seems to be pulling to the left, and the handling overall seems pretty twitchy. Would this be a tracking problem, where the wheels have just been put out of alignment? Or could it be something worse?

I've contacted the council and the hole has since been filled, so I can't go and take any photos of it, they've told me to make a written claim after it's been fixed.

Thanks

Double check the wheel on the inside mate, i did mine two days ago and the wheel's square, but looks ok from the outside. Didn't know til the tyre blew out round a corner and came half off the wheel.

Better to be safe than sorry.

Yep same thing, they're curvy anyway so only way you can tell unless it's proper bad is to compare it with the other side, use a ruler or whatever you can just to take a couple of references from each side and compare

Just got back from kwik fit. It's currently at +3 n/s and -3 o/s...Thing is though, I don't think this was caused by the pothole. Last week Hovis and I were trying to change my springs, and we had to replace the droplinks...he did one side, I did the other. I managed to put the droplink on the wrong way around, while his is the correct way round, so it's pushing the anti-roll bar so that it rotates left, which will be what's causing this. I'm going to change it round the correct way later, and then take it back for another test, but hopefully it'll be fine!

While it was on the hydraulic lift at Kwik Fit I had a look at the wheel from under the car and it all seems fine, but I'll take it off later for a proper look. Also checked the wishbones for play and they seem pretty stiff, so I think sorting the droplinks will put everything right again

Changed the droplinks around so they're both on the correct way now, but the tracking was still out by 4 from the pothole, so I've had to pay
