Well first of all im 16. Tells you about my driving style right there. So anyways I was doing my thing, had a bad idea to drift a turn, e-brake worked fine and every thing but as you all would guess, I lost a bit of control and instead of having a nicely executed turn, I hit a curb and dented in a portion of my wheel frame (or whatever the hubcap goes on, don't know all the terms but most of them) and well I was very lucky because only that, loosing the hubcap which I found, and my alingnment is only slightly off. Any ways to my question, it is that yes my alingment is off, I know because obviously slides right and thats not my main goal to fix because of my small minimum wage job only provides so much money. My main issue is that my steering wheel and whole car really shakes when I hit 60 and that kind of worries me because I don't want to loose a wheel at 60. So I was wondering if anyone here knew what I should have fixed first. I know both (replacing a wheel and having a realingment) arn't usally more that $100 but I mainly wanted to know what was more serious and what would fix most of the problem?
Thank you

My suggestion is to fix your bent wheel and get an alignment and stop driving like a jackass and you wont have to spend all your money on fixing your car.

Totally agree with Prop7515! You will probably need a new wheel and get the alighment checked NOW -- you may have caused more damage that could be really unsafe. If a wheel falls off that car you could hurt someone else and yourself and passengers and, that's way un cool! Tell the shop to look for unseen damage and what you did. Tom
