When you began driving lessons, you were probably taught proper procedures for parallel parking. However, once you take the road test and get your license, it can be easy to fall out of practice. One common mistake that occurs is hitting the curb while parking or driving. If this happens frequently, you may be causing extensive damage to the wheels or tires. Below is a guide to the problems that may appear after hitting the curb and what to do for the future. 

Issues With the Car

One negative consequence of hitting the curb is misaligning the car’s suspension. The front suspension has a variety of parts, such as tie rods, and wrecking any piece of it may cause the vehicle to veer out of control. The tires may also become susceptible to uneven wear, which can lead to a blowout. If you hit the curb, the tire rim can bend, which causes the steering wheel to flounder. When the alignment of the car experiences problems, you may have a hard time controlling the vehicle and keeping it from moving into another lane.
