Thank you for the advice on hitting the curb with your tire, not your rim. I honestly never thought of it before and I have hit curbs in the past. One of those instances really messed up the van I was driving and totaled the vehicle!

Outstanding report and review on this type of incident. Two thumbs up !

I was in a curb-free area but as I left I went over a bump and was still in slide mode, added a bit of power and did a full 180 with the rear wheel coming round to hit the curb. It hit quite hard - the impact was loud enough that I thought the tyre had burst. It hadn't, nor is there sidewall damage, but the rear wheel bounced up the curb. No doubt something is wrecked - going to get the alignment and lower control arms looked at.

Great info. Cheers Brian

Very informative. I've used your coil spring "feeler" test before after seeing one of your previous videos about it. Cool trick.

Some people just try to avoid the obstacle at all costs, and slide into it. I've been in the situation of sliding with a curb coming up fast, got real lucky with good judgement and saw a lowered part of the curb and I aimed for that. Had to drive part way down the road on the side walk to someones drive to come off, much better than damage to the car.

Thanks for this so very helpful.

Hit a curb yesterday night going about 30 in my 2013 civic coupe. Popped my tire. Was worried that something else might be damaged but I guess not. Gotta new tire replacement today. $97...

My car contineously slipped in ice during a normal left turn at an intersection and hit the curb on the front right wheel. But at a very low speed probably 10 to 15 kmph. the wheel was full turned towards the left which positioned it parallel to the oncoming curb. it hit towards the sideways. Im wondering at what speed can we expect what level of damage.

Very helpful thanks

I made a really small curve inwards on the wheel rim. They are steel rims so they just kinda deformed a little bit, and you have to sorta be looking for it to see it. Should I worry about this? I can't feel any difference at low speeds, but I haven't tried higher speeds yet. It's deformed by maybe a quarter of an inch.

Can you sustain a whiplash/concussion if you hit a curb with your tire , travelling around 35 mph ?

Wish I would've seen this sooner! Hit a curb trying to slide around a bend; bent my wheel and blew out the tire on the front left quadrant . I had to ride on a donut for an indefinite amount of time, say a couple of weeks until I could afford a replacement. Since then, when turning left at low speeds, say into a parking spot or turnaround, I'll get this occasional knocking noise as if something was slipping. Fast forward a year later, that ocasional knock has now become consistant and loud. It would happen when steering left, in the least bit, and is now evident when accelerating at all times. Haven't been too cognizant of my tire pressure either. My first impression was perhaps a bad axle, but am now led to believe it's due to bearing failure. As a "Subie-Newbie," I would greatly appreciate any advice on the matter. Many thanks!

I done more than hit curb. I went into a ditch. My driver's rim is didn't break off it just went back towards the rear fender well. Thinking a bent cv axle and the spindle. A new rim is a must too. It's on a 1999 Cadillac Deville base. Any tips my friend. Anything I've might have left out. Thank you

I've got this issue.. Do you deal with aftermarket radios

I would add the spindle to the list. Stress marks on the surface rust will indicate that it is bent.

Hit a curb today going about 20mph but not a side impact but about a 15 degree angle from the curb. Shook the 2006 Silverado pretty good but don't appear to be any visible damage. I'm sure trucks are more likely to survive curb hits more than a car would.

I’m so glad I saw this video. About a month or so ago, I was driving and was about to miss the entrance on the expressway. I had to have been going about 40 or 50mph and tried to slow down, but I ended up hitting the curb on the entrance. I don’t think I went over the curb because I noticed that front my rim was scratched from the impact. I think the tire is fine, but I could double check. However, the main thing I noticed immediately after that when I continued driving onto the expressway, I heard that “woahwoahwoah” sound that you were making. And I hear it all the time now as I’m driving, and not just on the expressway. So I’m definitely gonna get my wheel bearing and all of those parts connected to it checked out soon. Luckily, it doesn’t appear that anything else is messed up with my car, and nothing has ever lit up on the gauge cluster, so I think I’m ok for now. But I’m definitely gonna look into that wheel bearing.

Hi. My 2008 GH mazda6 hit a kerb square on at 30+mph a few weeks ago. The crossmember shifted so we backed the nuts off and moved it forwards to get the wheel alignment dialled in. Right after this was done, the car wouldn't start in Park. He advised to replace the neutral switch. First I fitted some replacement wheels from the wrecker and it took me a week or so to get around to replacing the neutral switch and that fixed the problem (starts in Park now) but I did need to shimmy it a bit on the m6 mounting bolts to get it 'Right. The day after replacing the neutral switch, the engine cut out whilst sitting in traffic. It has happened twice now in a matter of days. Battery was replaced, that wasn't the cause. From research (google) I read the fuel cut out switch can trip but that would mean the car wouldn't run at all. After the engine dies, the car can be started and driven no problem until it happens again. Could it be fuel filter, the impact allowing particulates to cause problem? Or failed crank angle or cam angle sensors? I plugged in a quality Bosch OBD2 scanner and no codes have been triggered. Reading back over my words, the stalling only began after replacing the neutral switch??

Great video! It helped me to explain to my girlfriend. Keep on it!

What the heck you are into rc cars too! We need to go off roading out there one day I have a fleet of them!

I just ran over a curb and blew a tire the tow guy said we broke a plate as the tire wouldn't turn when I had the wheel turned all the way over. So I got stuck on the sidewalk from making a uturn too fast and I skimmed the guard rail too. Hopefully my dad can get it fixed. I wish it was only minimal damage like this one but it is not drivable atm so we are out of luck. Shame we don't have a warranty on it

Having worked at dealerships, there are many people who still try to get repairs for curb damages under warranty. Anyway good information, learned something new. Thanks Brian.

Several years ago, I hit a curb on my 2000 accord coupe v6. the impact was the front drivers wheel, and I was probably going 35-40 mph. bent the lip on my front rim and nicked the rear, blew both tires. but everything balances and checks out okay. the curb (median) was in the shape of a U and i hit it at the lower right part of the U if you can picture it, and the the wheel was turned to the right trying to avoid the curb at the time of impact. i don't think i was on the brakes at impact. the front drivers wheel is pushed back about 3/4 an inch compared to passenger. I went to the Honda dealership and they diagnosed it as a bad spindle/knuckle and they wanted $800 dollars to fix. a little over 100 in that was parts. here i am now 3-4 years later still driving with the damage. I want to get it fixed soon. Will replacing the spindle/knuckle fix the issue or at least most of the issue with the wheel being pushed back? these accords had double wishbone in the front so I'm not sure what could have gotten damaged. any help would be appreciated by anybody, thanks!

I almost hit it head on, but towards the edge of it, was able to swerve to the right, a bit late though and it did some damage to the alloy wheel(looks more of a moderate curb rush). No noise, car doesn't pull, but the steering wheel now needs to be about 1/4th of an inch to the left to drive straight. FYI - The speed was about 15-20MPH.

Ha! Thanks!

I just slammed on brakes and hit the right side of the curb going like 30 Also everything seems fine with the car should I take it in to get checked The curb was smaller than most and my car sits rather high

Curbs and tires don't mix with each other I try to be extremely careful with the wheels when I'm next to an curb or Just pulling into the driveway where its really hard to get into the driveway and that's why I ask someone to help me with parking the truck

1000th like.

I just bashed my bimmer into the curb messed up my lower control arm and blew the tire probably more damage that I can't see

The most common thing is the cords breaking in the tire causing a bubble in it. I see that all the time.

Shit I hit a curb sideways with my 86 Chrysler 5th avenue. It bent both front and rear rims, destroyed the lower control arm, bent the upper control arm, and bent the whole k frame and twisted the passengers side frame rail. Also twisted the bumper and kinked the radiator support.... I replaced the k frame and got new rims and its back on the road. At least the control arms and k frame and torsion bars are all one piece. So it made fixing it easier. But I believe it was that design that made the damage so bad.

NIISB or NIIST don't really go after car makers for this kind of accident, but the lower control arm in this video did act as a mechanical fuse to protect the inner structures.

Hi, my car is shaking. Like there is a broken tire but I don't see any problem with the tire. It is only obvious when I am driving slow. Like when you are parking.

Also, it happened after I went over a curb.

I hit a deer and I can't find what's causing the excessive body roll/excessive torque steer. Very frustrating.
