I went to firestone today to get an alignment because I hit a curb at 5-10 mph while it was raining I was slowing down to make the turn and my front wheels skid into the curb no damage just needed alignment untill my tire on the passenger side came off the (rim was already cracked) so I found a deal on 4 rims with tires for 125 put the new rim on replaced rear tire as it was 260/60/17 fire stone said the front passenger tire was all good except the caster ? I think he said the frame was bent and couldn't align that the frame needed to be straightened all I had was a little wobble during breaking the car has traveled on the highway over 1500 mile trips at a time I new it was wrecked when I brought it is it safe to drive the car still the wobble is 4 1-10 scale it's about the same as before but I would only feel it under hard breaking wich I thought was the roators maybe I never went over 40mph but it seems to get less noticeable I wanna keep the car I just don't want to literary ride till the wheels fall off
 


slot the strut bolt or get a camber bolt for it. unless its so far out of whack the frame or lca is bent real good.
 
Caster is usually caused by a bent lower control arm or a shifted subframe. Take a really good look at the affected lower suspension side and see what happens. Otherwise, caster isn't a wear angle...but it can cause a pull.
