You may remember a couple of weeks ago I knacked a tyre on one of Leeds many potholes (it wasnt actually a pothole but rather a ridge accross the road somewhat like you get when they lift some of the road for resurfacing but in the middle of an A road).
I had the wheel balanced when I got a new tyre then last week I had the other side balanced as it still felt lumpy. I also had the tracking done.

They couldnt get the tracking sorted properly but said they adjusted it as best they could but it is still 2.4 out on one side (better than it was).
It still feels lumpy.

The wheel looks ok but could I have bent it?
Can they not fix the tracking cos it is so lowered or has something else bent too?
It was hell of a bang

you should be able to see flat spots on the alloys if you know what i mean so instead of the alloy looking this shape O it will look like this D hence jacking up the car to check
