Shakes or Wobbles problem
2003 Ford Focus 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual 26k miles

I let a buddy borrow my car and he hit a curb or something. The alloy wheel (driver side front) was bent and cracked.

I sent the wheel off to a repair shop yesterday and I mounted the spare.

The car still shakes and wobbles and it seems to be coming from the driver side front. What else could be bent? It appears the damage is more than just the wheel itself. What else could be bent and causing the wobble?

Any thoughts? Thank you!

Yes, your car could have more damage, insepct all suspension components, it sounds like one is bent. Also have the front alignment checked, this will allow you to see any slightly bent parts. Please let me know

Inspect all the suspension components. It sounds like you may have bent or broken something.

The wheel alignment is more then likely off as well!

Get back to me so I can help you more!
