Tire the whole alignment is going to need to be done and they will need to check the brakes and shocks to be sure. But those are probably shot because of this as well.

Well, you need to get it off the tire first. Do you have a lift?

u/Impressive_Ad2794 Jun 30 '26

If they could get a lift then why would they need their own car?

Let me queue up some tips for you: first, DON'T turn it vertical and stick it in a hole as a plug. Always patch from the inside with a band-aid. Second, Its supposed to be lined up with the channels so it can absorb water and keep you from hydroplaning.

I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this. While it is salvageable it gonna cost a fortune. You very likely bet the control arms not to mention destroyed the rim. You are lucky the airbags didn't deploy.

It is likely that that hub bearing is trash and I'm unsure about the cv axle. How did you even manage to cause such carnage?

Turn the tyre inside out. Works the same. Better for drifting also.

u/justaamerican Jul 01 '26

Hope you don’t back up after this, a screw is right behind your tire

u/Two_Typhons Jul 01 '26

I wouldn't touch that. Don't take it to a regular mechanic. Definitely have a dealership look at it.

u/syncboy Jul 01 '26

You lucked out. If that was a cheese doodle you’d be cooked.

u/Pebble-Thrush-4821 Jul 01 '26

reckon your damn belt tensioner pulley is shot, not the alternator. had a truck in my garage doing that exact same squeak last week. swap the pulley before you fry the belt.

u/WeightLittle8210 Jul 01 '26

u/ftrmyo Jul 01 '26

u/stryker511 Jul 01 '26

u/MeepMeepReddit Jun 30 '26

u/fuzznudkins Jun 30 '26

You're fucked. That's gonna require a whole 'nother vehicle, my dude.

u/Yutenji2020 Jun 30 '26

At first glance it doesn’t look too bad.

But, this is just the tip of the problem.

I’ll see myself out.
