Front wheel

During the yesterday's slippery rush hour my son hit the front right
wheel to curb so hard that now is no longer parallel with the other
one, but at about 10 degrees, facing outside.
Is this a very complicated repair, would it require a computer to
re-align the wheels? Does it have to be at a dealership?

thanks

George

Any alignment shop can do the alignment if that's all that is wrong.  Only
way to tell if there is more damage is to take it in.  A simple alignment
around here is around $40 for the front end, but price depends greatly on
where you live and where you take it.

No one can truly assess the damage until it is seen up close.  It may be a
simple re-alignment that any tire shop or body shop can do at reasonable
price. Figure $50 to $75.  It is, however, possible that other damage was
done so get it to a shop as soon as you can. No, you don't have to take it
to a dealer.

From your description, it sounds like more than an alignment issue; the
suspension has been somehow damaged.  10 degrees is quite a significant
amount as far as alignments go.

You should have the car checked by a good suspension shop.  This could
include your dealer, but may not.

Check the wheel also.  If he hit hard enough to bendthe suspension the
rim is also bent.

according to the bill the mechanic fixed the following:
-replace the R/O Tierode NDI P/L (no idea what that is!)
-wheel alignment
-rotate/balance tires

The car behaves well now, I took it for a ride on the highway it
rides smoothly.
The whole repair was about 300 bucks.
