Well, after going off-roading with my ugly '82 Tercel [temporary car until I get my civic back], I totally screwed up the alignment of one wheel. Being that I'd rather spend no money on this car except for gasoline, what's the worst that can happen if the alignment is really off?

Thanks for the help .

Your tires wear out. The car won't handle right if you need to make a panic move, something's broken and a wheel falls off, I can probably go on if I had to.

Uh, oh... So, am I just supposed to get one wheel aligned?? How do you align a wheel, anyways?

You don't align one wheel, they still do the whole car when they get it up on the rack, or at the least, the front end.

didn't you know junkie cars aren't for off roading?

The worst? Being that its a Tercel, it could blow up at any given time. With your specific problem, in a panic turn, the wheel could break off and you could flip it, then exploding (it is a Tercel after all).

I had a friend that rented a stick tracel, he took it into a parking lot and let one of his friends drive the car. This guy took off hard and wounds out first and second and some of third...he reached the end of the parking lot hit the brakes down shifted into second and turned hard and punched out and the rear right hand tired just came off...and he ripped up the rim bad.

Well, I already popped one tire hardcore. I'm just so addicted to running up curbs and stuff... I have one vid, but it doesn't do justice to how I really drive. I'll post up asap.
