First of all i know this is in no way thirdgen related but i have a problem... I just crashed my moms 99 tahoe into a curb and a thin metal pole. It totally destroyed the rim, even though it is still holding air, how i have no clue. I was going on an on ramp and the ABS kicked in and i just slid right into it. Ive been trying to tell her to get new tires for a while now. I drove it home which was like a 15 mile drive. The truck has no body damage so im guessing the pole thing hit the tire and rim. It makes a clunking noise which i think is the rim. Anyone think that i hurt the suspension... BTW i was going 35 MPH ... shouldnt of been in a hury

 

Does it pull or shack at all?

 

It just pulls to the left... ptobably because of the rim... U know the on ramp in sugar grove? Thats where it happened

 

hahaha owned on the on ramp, my old 81 malibu I was am idiot and let my buddy drive, well he hit a curb about 35 bent the steal wheel blew out the tire I took it to my autoservice class during high school and the tie rod was bent, not bad.

I just took my 95 pathfinder in on tuesday at the Just tires at the fox valley mall location (by the foundry) for a alignment and it cost 70 bucks, they give you a spec sheet of how off it was and how it is after the fix.

 

what do the rims look like I have a set off my 96 with new tires on them.That i wanna get rid of

 

The rims are a set of chrome Epic Marquis and I have to order one today....around $230 per wheel.... There goes part of the money for having my hood painted

 

Probably didn't hurt much. I would crawl under there and look at your tie-rods. And def. get it aligned after you get the new tire/wheel on there.

I bent the tie-rod on my Cherokee getting pulled out of a mud-hole. Drove ok, just pulled to one side. After getting home (50 miles) one tire was worn real bad on one side.

 

Well it needs an idler and pitman arm, an allingnment, new rim and 4 new tires. The tires were 2/32 tread depth They said about $400 for the parts to fix and i found a rim for $133 . Thanks guys for your input
