Hi there,
my car had mounted the kerb with really high speed and was stopped after 30-50m on the grass. After that, I changed two tyres. I didn't find any problem on the way back home on that day. however, after a few days, I found that the steering wheel was vibrating when the speed was higher than 100km/h. I am wondering what wrong with my car.

Hi there,
You could have suspension and/or wheel bearing damage- I recommend you have a workshop check this and you might also need a wheel alignment check to see if everything is in line. On another note, you could have warped brake discs, or a tyre that has an issue.

Hi there,
I changed two tyres after the accident. I just told the staff on tyre shop to check my tyres and didnt told him about the accident. Do I need to check the other two tyres also?
Also, I wanna know how can i know if the brake disc is warped?
Someone told me that I can do the four wheel alignment to fix the problem, but I will probably do a check to ensure that there is no problem on my car :)

Hi there,
I recommend making sure the wheel alignment is carried out first as you may have suspension damage, especially if you damaged two tyres. The brake check is a last resort, I would not replace anything else until you've had an alignment check- you need to tell them about the accident so they know to pay specific attention to the affected area and check for hidden damage. Otherwise you could be wasting your money replacing things that are not required.
