The car went up a bank of round 50degree on the rhs of car (british). The car didnt roll and i came down the bank, shaken and scared shitless. The damge is nothing visible except for 2 dents in the alloys near the seal of the tire, maybe leaking air? Near the edge of the rim. The main problem is the car pulls to the left, a steady pull. I havent checked yet if its a simple camber disalignment or something more serious like a bent axle? Help! I need suggestions on the problem and the possible dangers it poses
 
u could have bent somethin like a track rod r wish bone r simply but the cars tracking out....a simple 4 wheel allignment wil tel the tale..not that expensive.
 
If you hit hard enough to cause the car to pull, then something in the suspension is either bent, or knocked out of alignment. Hopefully it isn't the frame that is bent. There is no way anyone on here can guess what the problem is. Take your car to a mechanic and have them check it out. Hopefully it's just a simple alignment. As far as dangers, it could be as little as the car pulls, to pulling out of control when you hit the brakes at speed, to the suspension having a cracked part and breaking when you are going down the road. Again, I say take it to a mechanic, as soon as possible and have it checked out.
