ISF8530

Hey guys, I'm new to the forum. Quick question for all of you. I was involved in a minor accident while driving. I was cut off by another driver and hit a curb at about 25mph. There was significant cosmetic damage to the wheel but none to the tire. I had the wheel repaired but the car doesn't seem to handle as precisely as it did prior. What should I have the dealership take a look at for me? Thanks!

Alignment, most definitely. Is your steering wheel on center?

Alignment for the wheels/tires of more so alignment of the suspension? Yes it seems to be pretty center. Doesn't drift right or left, stays fairly straight.

Any vibrations in the steering wheel.

Like they said, Alignment or suspension.

Very faint at speeds 80-90mph and that's being picky...

You just probably need and alignment and wheel balance.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm going to call my Lexus dealership tomorrow morning and ask for an alignment and wheel balance just to be safe.

Just take it to the dealer and just tell them what you told us. They will diagnose it... Might cost a bit unless its being covered by ins....

Did you replace the tire, it may be damaged even if you can't see it, most likely the issue is allignment though

The tire wasn't replaced. The dealership said the tire wasn't effected by the incident but I will push for them to check the alignment.

happened to me before in my G35, axle was in horrible shape.
hopefully the dealer diagnoses any possible cause.
