While watching not to scratch the paint with construction cones, baby has hit a really nasty sidewalk...
chipped wheel (original MAG), two blown tires on the right side, car jerked to the left when it hit...
it's a 1999 Grand Marquis LS (steering box, not the fancy rack&pinion stuff)
besides some alignment (I suppose it's been whacked out of specs), can I suspect any kind of damage to my steering linkage, steering box, etc... ?
I know those cars are built really tough, but it really hit hard...
Besides, it was already a little wobbly.
(the stealership says it should be OK, as it's the same linkage used in trucks)
But I won't know 'til tomorrow when the new tires are put in...
On another note, the two good tires will be put on front (225/60R16 all-season), the two I got are 235/60R16 Winter tires (will put in the rear, can get them both for 60$ CAD). I guess it should be ok, right?
(I know, I'll get some winter tires for the front end too, in about 2 weeks or sooner if I find a really sweet deal)
