So, I have an Elantra. At some point in the past, I struck a curb on the median of a road I didn’t see, because it was night, going about 20-25 mph through a turn on the left front tire, and blew the sidewall of the tire out. The alignment is a little off since that impact, but I replaced the tire, …

Bring it in and have them try to an alignment. If any of the suspension components are damaged, they won’t be able to do the alignment, and they’ll tell you why. Tester

Until you get this vehicle repaired do not have any passengers . If you crash and injure your passengers you may find yourself on the wrong end of a Lawsuit . Do you not have a credit card to use to at least find out what is wrong with this thing .

The tire damage was to the front, but the suspension system problems you are experiencing seem more like at the rear. I’m guessing it’s a coincidence and you just need the rear suspension components repaired/replaced as required. Your idea to get that done before doing an alignment is a good one. …

And maybe bent the mounting points as well. That could make it hard to get a good alignment. The money you are saving on the di…

There is a lot of info on youtube but this is the kind of thing a $100 inspection would provide. People don’t work for free. I suspect you rear shocks are shot. [Why Is the Front End Of My Car Rattling?]
