All steering and alignment parts look untouched but there is whining sound.
What could it be?

And look at this: :cry :cry

I would definately want a new tire, you'll probably need an alignment also...

Yeah... well my mom borowed the vette and hit a 2x4 that was laying in the street.
Car is ok though, I hope you find whats wrong with yours.

Oh yeah? :D I was coming home from work one morning when a lumber truck lost it's load coming off the interstate and proceeded to dump 2x4s, 2x6s, 2x10s, and every other size stick onto the road in front of oncoming traffic (including myself!). :eek: :eek:

Here is who fixed my rim, I think they have some other locations. Or ship them your wheel, they did a great job on mine. http://www.hubcap-wheelstore.com/Restoration.htm

Re: Hit a f***ing rock (Gary96LT4)

Checked everything today and there is no visible damage.
Tried to turn the wheels with car on the lift and there is no
resistance on steering rack.

Also there was no whining sound today, but guess what?
Alternator died on the way home.

It looks like one sh** never comes alone.

IMHO you guys are far too paranoid. Cars jump curbs and dent the wheels without ruining the tires. Don't get the guy all upset with opinions on this. But my UNSCIENTIFIC OPINION is that the tire is fine. Inpect the inside of the sidewall area just for piece of mind.

Re: Hit a f***ing rock (Sliding)

That's fixable & the tire is prolly ok, inspect it in & out while you are on your spare & the rim's getting fixed. Of course once that one is refinished the other three are gonna look :U
