I have an 02 Altima. I recently hit a bad pothole, I think a sewer
cap was sticking up and now I am having some problems. I hear a thump
thump sound whenever I make a right turn , turning the wheel all the
way. Along with that I smell something kind of burning after I drive.
The pedal also vibrates a little bit. Any idea what might have
happened? and how much this is going to cost me?

Hard to say exaclty what has happened... or if it's at all related to
your pothole encounter. Best to take it to someone who can evaluate...
now that you have a good grasp of the symptoms.

I bet you're glad that those roads are paved. Saw a study once, of how
much more vehicle maintenance would be necessary with out paved roads.
You get to keep a few grand in your pocket every year.

BTW The first road paved in America, from one city to another is Woodward
Ave. starting in Detriot and going north, done at the insistence of a
bicycle org, just about a hundred years ago. Bikes just kept falling
apart, going 10 or 20 miles to the next city was a PITA. Had those little
seats, you know. ;-)
