    i hit a curb and i think i bent the camber because after aligning the car it slowly rebent itself

    the process goes like this.
    after turning the steering wheel a full 360 degree there is a popping noise. After that the steering wheel is no longer perfectally horizontal and is shifted to the right.
    after i turn it the opposite way 360 degree it pops back.

    the popping continued until the camber for the accident area re-bent it self.

    Will replacing the the car's coil overs fix this problem??    :oops:

    when you get your stuff put on, just get a front end alignment and it should be all good.

    You may either have a bent steering tie-rod, bent strut, or could have a damaged strut mount. When you get it aligned (I recommend the Dealership for this case), tell them your problem and they can check for bad parts.

    i actually found the problem recently.
    there was a piece of wood, "brick size" behind one of my struts -_-
    i guess the body shop guy forgot it there, so it cause the lower ball joint to be broken

    i got it fixed already, so problem solved.

    it just goes to show you to check your car before u take it come. ><

    Always as a general rule. I have found my side mud guards busted up from an alignment, regular oil in place of my Royal Purple Syn that I gave the Dealer to use, and a hole in my back bumper when my S/C was installed.
