So I finally went to check the cause of the wobble on the car...
And found this
All because caltrans doesnt want to maintain their roads! I'm CERTAIN that they have gotten calls about this pot hole by MANY! Its between 6"-1' deep! Yes THAT deep! and yes I'm pissed!!! (reason for all my exclamation points) but not just the depth is the problem, its about 25" wide by a good 3ft long, kinda hard to be accurate with size when you're going 70mph on the damn freeway! The worse thing is, is that I saw it on my way up to Modesto! it was 8am so no traffic and I was able to avoid it... Well later that day my buddy and mine went to Turlock, well on the way back I said to myself, "stay out of the middle lane" (which I did) until some jack *** cut me off! I almost hit him so I had no choice but to swerve in to the center lane (where he came from) and yea sure, just when that pot hole was there! Now you may think, "hmmm... he wasnt cutting you off, he was avoiding the hole" NOPE there was a rig in center lane (which I assume was why he cut me off, to get around it) and he couldnt have seen it coming... The story is not in detail, so no way to explain what really happened. I'm not a panicky driver, my swerve had precedence, just horrible luck!
anyways, that pic is of the rear wheel, the front one is actually kinda worse, the bend is a good foot long, but not as open as this one. This one (the rear) is actually losing air. I just cant stress how pissed I am! as you man notice, tire is bald... well that happened in just a month! I just got an alignment, and me thinking everything is ok... but NOOOOOooo <-- said with sarcastic sound. I've had these tires for less than a year and are practically new! Still have like around 75%+ tread left, so yea. Add insult to injury huh...
oh yea, did I mention its been 2 weeks since I went up there and according to my bud, it STILL hasnt been fixed! WTF?!
I will be taking this up with cal trans and will be making them pay... I'll keep the update.
BTW, anyone have a clue how much it costs to fix this sh-it?

Imma see what happens tomorrow... One of my rims from the 20" set got a HUGE dent/crack/chunk broke off... and well my buddies tire shop was able to balance it to like 99% no vibrations just an ever so slight wiggle, but you really have to look for it. However these bends are pretty bad in comparison. I'm gonna talk to a shop tomorrow about getting them fixed.

Sorry to see this man, but I'm sure that somewhere in all of this someone should be held liable for things like that because if you don't pay your taxes they come and get you but when you do pay your taxes they don't seem to fix **** properly that could have caused a blow-out and a big accident...
