=>Hi everyone,
=>
=>     I recently had a small accident with my car, an 87 16V, where I slid
=>sideways into a ditch.  Things are mostly O.K as I just hurt a
=>couple of the
=>fiberglass body kit parts (which I am finding to be very hard to
=>find). The
=>tire popped off the rim as a result, and the toe was knocked out.
=> I had the
=>had a new tire mounted on the rim, and had the car aligned.  The control
=>arms and everything else were fine.  The technician said that the
=>rim looked
=>bent (the one which took most of the force), so I expected it to shimmy a
=>little.  I tried putting another teardrop rim on my car to see if
=>it still
=>wobbled, and it does at around 60-65 mph.  Thus, I think
=>something else is
=>still wrong, as I know the other rim I tried isn't bent.  I
=>checked all of
=>the tire pressures as well and they are O.K.  I'm assuming the
=>alignment is
=>still out causing the car to shimy a little at higher speeds.  It feels
=>great below 55 - 65.  If anyone has any ideas (assuming the car
=>is aligned
=>properly) as to why my car might be doing this, I would
=>appreciate it.  Also
=>if anyone is selling some 16V bodykit parts I would greatly appreciate it.
=>
=>Thanks in advance,
=>
=>Aaron
