Hi Everyone,

I have a 2006 Range Rover HSE Sport with 46K miles. Yesterday, I drove over a medium sized curb going around 15 MPH and both the tires on my right side blew out. I drove it as close as I could to my home couple hundred feet away. Anyways I had it towed to a tire shop, they were going to put the new tires on but the inside of both rims were bent. I am not sure if they were bent due to the curb or from me driving it a little bit with the tires blown and it sitting there for the night with the tires blown. Anyways, I'm going to buy the 2 new rims and tires. However, I was told my suspension looks like some things got bent. I am not sure what, but I am really really worried that I messed some expensive stuff up! I can't believe I did this... Any ideas by hopping this curb, what kind of damage I could have inflicted. How bad is this, I will know more in depth on Monday but im so anxious about it, I don't know what to do. Could my suspension really be that messed up, I just went over a curb and all this damage happened? The tires maybe had 40% left, and I guess were ready to go.

I am praying and hoping, not much damage was caused to the suspension but how bad can it be just from what happened? I thought these vehicles were tough taking them rock climbing and such, I just hopped a curb!

Please help,

Thanks:eek:

What is your Collision Deductible? Might be worth calling the Insurance company.

I believe it is $1000. Any ideas what could have happened to my suspension by hoping this curb, with my tires being blown and rims bent?

My advice would be to get your new tires and rims put on, and consider taking it to a shop that does front end alignments, but has no knowledge of your mishap. You might get the front end checked for free, and a list of parts, if any, that need changed.
