On xmass day was snowing over here and going down a steep hill around 15mph car slid out and the passenger side wheel hit the curb my wheel was turned all the way to the left and the car sliding on a 45deg angle so it pretty much hit the rim flat into the curb, not the front of the tire. Didnt appear to be any damage and drove fine just pulled to the right a little, the next day I noticed a gridning noise that would appear only after driving like 15 min, I changed the wheel bearing on that tire, and the grinding is gone.
But after the accident the car would pull to the right and after bearing change it still does, I can easly see that the top of the passenger side wheel (the one that hit) is slightly tilted in. From what I've read our model cars cant adjust camber so this means somethin is bent correct?
I have inspected the lower control arms, tie rod etc nothing seems bent, So what else should I check? What would cause a negative camber from an impact like that?
