If you bothered to READ my post, you would know the behavior corrected itself on the OLD tires. I put new ones on AFTER that because I didn't believe I had bad shocks anymore. The ride became more settled. Maybe skidding across the road jerked something into place. How the hell else can this be explained? I know my car....I've only put 80,000 miles on it  |
Hmmm, I did not consider how you might view the humor of what he said.
For myself, it was only a silly simile.

To give you a serious answer:
You need the total steering/suspension inspected by an MB technician.
What you describe causes me great concern.
The rims and new tires you spun out on, need to be balanced and inspected for flat spots, warping, metal stress lines.
One thought which comes to mind:
If the wheel rim that took the greatest stress during your spin out, was warped prior to this, then it is possible the spin out stress straightened the rim.
My grave concern would be; this aluminum rim has now been stressed twice, to the point of bending, fracture is the next logical issue, and I have no clue as to where the stress point (future fracture point) may be...
