Okay guys -- first the background - was driving around Saturday night and hit a huge I mean huge hole in the freaking ground. So...don't blow a tire or anything but now the car pulls to the right.

I had the car aligned -- could someone tell me what these numbers mean btw:

The car still pulls to the right - the shop said something about I probably damaged the tire internally and to change the tire -- well with more than 80% tread left I would like to avoid this -- what should I do?? I am tempted to rotate the rim out back (RF) so that I won't feel it -- what do you guys think??

Thanks a bunch.

Sorry - I am lowered on Progress springs 1.3" - have the 15 dollar camber mod and KYB AGX - thought you would need all the suspension info.

u could have also blown a shock on that corner...Those shocks u have dont have very much travel, and have nearly none with 1.3" drop...I would see if the shock is blown.

mmm..as your driving at any speed range do you hear any sort of noises or does it only lean to the right??
cause i had the same problem with my car except for i messed up my wheel bearing while i poped a Ui going 35 (i was pretending to be in an action movie and tought of what would that be like) well it sucked.
and after that my car lean to the right but there was a weird noise like something hittin on something else..any ways ill tell u more if you hear noise..
ok as for you wanting to know what the sheet means..or words..
Camber..im sure your familiar with this word..it is how your tire sits as you looking at it from a front view, like your rear tires after you lowered it they looked funny thats too much negative camber..
Toe in or Toe out..this term refers to what its says..how far apart are the tires from left side to the right side..are they parallel to one an other
Caster...this i think refers to the tire being centered to the wheel well...not sure
anyways i may be wrong or may be right but its hard for me to explain but hope u get the picture..

No the shock is not blown - what other ideas do you guys have??

hmmm.....possibly a out of round rim? Did you check that? I dont know how the tire would get ruined without getting blown out..Usually, the rim gets damaged before the tire does.

Okay -- well I decided to rotate the tires around to see if it truly was a rim/tire issue. When I got the front right off (and those who have done struts will know what I am talking about the strut where it connects to the lower control fork (part name?) has slid down a little further. As you know when you install struts there is a little metals T that butts up against the fork -- well that bump must have busted that loose cause you can see the scrapes where it has slid up further in effect lowering the right side of the car a little more than the left - causing the car to lean (and of course pull to the right) Anyone think KYB is gonna warrant this??? I already left them an email -- hopefully they say yes - otherwise AGXs aren't that expensive - maybe 100 bucks a strut??

Thanks for all the help guys - and the guy who said struts - you were damn close man!!!
