here is the story. well i just got back from concert in Tulsa and i had to stop for gas. its on the other side of the road, so at thenext stop light i did a u-turn. i thought i could make it, but i didn't, so i hit the curb hard while turning. when i get done fueling up i take off and noticed that steering wheel is not as stait as it once was and to make it a double whammy the alignment is off as well :motz: :banghead: . so do you guys think if i get a realignment, the steering wheel would go back to the way it was?

have you looked under there and made sure nothing got bent? You will need an alighnment for sure

YEP get the alignment the tech should center the wheel then do alignment if not remind him to.

If something is bent, an alignment may not fix it completely.

I was being an idiot in the snow (doing donuts) with the car i drove before the xr (a honda element) and i hit a curb...
it was probably much much much more violent than your hit, but the point is that i completely broke the a-frame, bent the rear axel, broke an abs sensor, and messed up the brakes in that wheel.

so what im saying is that you really should look for damage bc hitting a curb can really mess things up

i did a 180 in two lane traffic and wound up plowing into a curb semi-sideways going about 20 and all i needed was an alignment...i think an alignment is fine.

If I was you I would take it to an aligment tech!
