Well few weeks ago it iced up in georgia and my car slid sideways into a curb. It was almost going parallel with the curb, but it ended up bending both of my wheels (passenger side) and bending the rear lower suspension link.

I replaced both the wheels and the bent arm, and finally went for a test drive today.

The problem is that the steering now feels sluggish, and it almost feels like if i move the steering to the left or right it doesn't respond as well. And the VDC+SLIP light comes on after driving.

I can deffinately feel something is wrong, but i can't seem to find what's wrong. Nothing seems to be bent comparing the passenger side and driver side. What can be the problem here?

Thank you.

 

I'm going to take my car to my friend's tire shop and put it on a alignment machine. And see what's going on from under the car while its moving.

Hope i can figure the problem out.

 

Try the lower ball joints, the may be blown..

 

if i can remember correctly, if the front wheels aren't aligned within a certain spec., that will cause the VDC and SLIP lights to come on.

 

I checked all ball joints and checked to see if any parts look bent or not. The only part i was only visibly able to see that was broken/bent was the rear passenger lower suspension link. The bar that's below the lower control arm that holds the springs.

Maybe my alignment is just really off. Hopefully i'll know whats wrong by tomorrow.

Thanks guys for your help.

 

Update.

Well turns out my alignment was off by a lot. Which was causing the VDC/Slip to come on. Thanks bri127 on that.

Also the Wheel bearing is gone. Which was causing the horrible noise. Already replaced that

And the Sub-frame got bent a little.....Yeah this hurt my feeling. My friend's body shop is going to see if they can pull it out, if not replace it.

But overall, the car runs perfect now. Thanks guys for your help.
