F'ed up front end = HELP!!!!!!!
Alright, yesterday i was exiting the highway going about 60-65. As i was exiting i had to throw my brakes on hard as hell so not to hit this guy infront of me that threew his brakes on for some other reason. While I was braking i had to turn my tires to the right at the very end so not to hit the guy. When i stopped completely my front end made a big pop. I thought i punctured a tire at first but they were good. I decided i should drive it home instead of getting it towed. As i was driving home the car wants to pull right like no other. Not just pull the wheel would keep turning if i didnt turn it 30 the other way. It sounds as if the brake is rubbing on the right side and both tires would squeel as i drove. When i finally got home i parked and heard my radiator boiling. It overflowed for a while and then stopped. All of this is right after i got my car back from the dealer for repair work. I had gotten into a wreck and my whole left side was demolished. Any help would be greatly appreciated. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: F'ed up front end = HELP!!!!!!!
More than likely what happened can be attributed to the first repair or lack of it. Was the frame damaged in the original accident? If the damage is bad as you describe then more than likely you damaged the frame, or at least some part on the front end. You shouldn't have driven the car, it could have caused greater damage or worse, a complete failure while driving.
Have the car towed to a different body shop (reputable), explain to them everything what happened. Ask them to put it on a rack and look at the front end/frame.They should give you a honest 2nd opinion.
Then go back to the shop that did the first repair and see if they will own up to it.
