i was approaching a green light that beared right. i hit the light at about 80. what i didn't see or know was that there was loose gravel on the intersection. i lost traction and slammed into the left island after the light. it wasnt a big crash, more of a drifting-into-island sorta thing. i stopped the car afterwards and my skirts are scratched and the metal weights on my left hand rims are gone. after driving it for a while, i decided that there was no frame damage but the steering wheel has to be counterclockwised an inch or two to get into a straight line. how much does it cost to balance my wheels? can the change in steering be fixed by an alignment?

balancing should be $40ish



alignment is under $100, we get charged 99.95, but thats high, you do want a 4 wheel alignment, 2 wheel is just some guy taking your money

Stupid gravel!

yeah well it was gravel and the fact that my struts are completely gone (i was planning on getting kyb agx's + rb springs) but that'll have to wait.
