Looking for some info/help

[blue07runner]

Hey everyone, new member here looking for some help. This past weekend I took a trip to TN. One night I was going up the side of a mountain on something that was considered a road. Well, I took a sharp turn and ended up in a ditch and in the process hit a log with the side of my rim. I got out of the ditch and everything seemed fine. The next day I realized that the steering wheel isn't straight anymore and there is a slight vibration when driving. I know I probably knocked the allignment out, but should I worry about anything else? Is it possible that something might have happened to the breaks? They seem to be really soft(pedal goes in a good bit) now. Should I just take it to Toyota? Any advice would be appreciated and sorry for the long post.

Thanks

I would bring it to Toyota or a trusted front end/alignment place right away. There are lots of expensive parts in there, best to get it fixed and adjusted before more things break.

You may also want to get the tire balance checked. The log could have dented your rim or even knocked off a small weight they put on rims to balance them.

I would definitely take it in for an alignment.

You damaged something, have it checked by a good alignment shop. The Stealer will not cover anything so don't pay any more then you have to. You will needs to replace the part/s and have an alignment done.

That's not cool. I was hoping more for, yeah get your allignment worked on, and the breaks are just worn from the mountain trip. But, thanks for the info. Think it would be best to let Toyota do the allignment?

I had 4 new Yoko tires mounted, balanced, & Aligned by the dealer. They were a great valve. Cheaper than TireBarn or STS.

I will always use the dealer for now when Alignment/tire work. It
