Hit a pothole really hard today with right front. A few seconds later I got these warning lights:
When I got home I checked and, of course, bent rim . . .
Brake pads are new, a bit less than 5,000 miles on them. Rotors only about 10,000, so I'm figuring something got knocked loose or off kilter when I hit the pothole. Anyone experienced this and have suggestions of what to check/look for? Wear sensor is on the other side, IIRC, so not likely to be that?
When I put these tires and wheels on exactly a year ago, I agonized between 17s or 18s. I went with the 18s because, of course, bigger, but also because the 18s were actually cheaper than the 17s (same wheel, but retailer was dropping the 18 size option - of course, now I cannot get a replacement 18 from that retailer). But I am wondering whether I should just admit that the quality of the roads and the fact that this is my daily driver make 17s more sensible. Over the past few weeks, I've hit potholes a number of times and been lucky until today.
Now, how to get "She who usually no longer asks questions when boxes of car parts arrive" to not ask questions when new wheels and tires arrive.
