Default Stupid, stupid, stupid...I was running a hot lap around Bell Isle in Detroit after the Dream Cruise,
when the awesome Detroit road had a three inch pavement increase. Well I think I bent the front wheels on the inside because I got a some vibration on the way back to Rochester today. Anyone know if the control arm clunking has any symptoms of vibration at like 70mph? I was bummed because I couldn't maintain my normal triple digits through Canada on the way back.

Default In addition to bending things, ...
the impact could have knocked wheel weights loose, resulting in the 70 mph vibration.
