    Right rear tire spindle is bent
    I was in a head on frontal colission while sitting at a red light. The car turned into my front left side at about 30mph. Is it possible that my right rear spindle could have gotten bent due to the accident? I had new tires (aligned & balanced) 3 mo before wreck. 3 weeks afterwards I noticed all 4 tires were worn to steel on insides. I'm replacing tires every 1 1/2- 3 weeks. Ins co says its not from accident cause I was hit in front

    If you are hit head on... was your car pushed into anything... or over anything (like a curb or another vehicle)? There are a lot of "it depends" being we don't have the details from the accident scene to rely on.

    Sounds like on a re-read it wasn't head on... but more of a angular hit from the left front side... if it was enough of an angle

    It seems possible... but only if there was an obstruction... otherwise I would think the hit wasn't likely severe enough on average if the car was repaired rather than totaled... I assume its wash't that hard a hit if the vehicle was repaired...

    What Make and model vehicle was it? And what kind hit you and how fast?

    I was sitting still at a red light in the left turn lane. The other driver was making a left turn onto the street I was on. She turned at an angle into my left front ( said she had turned around because baby in back seat was crying). My car was pushed back 4-6ft. It was a hard hit. I had a lumbar strain in middle & upper back. Her front fender was pushed into her tire. It was pressed against it. Everything in my car went flying. My car iis 2005 acura rsx. Hers was 2009 Nissan Maxima. Don't know how fast she was going. Report is not very thorough.
    All I know is that I had 8000 miles on my new performance tires. My alignment was perfect and wheels were balanced. My car did not shake or pull either way prior to accident. As soon as I left the scene, I knew immediately that my alignment was shot. Now I'm having issues with motor mount. For about a month now. Probably from all the shaking . I also had my 13th flat tire today. Please help

    And you haven't had the alignment checked? What did tire company do? Get an alignment check. Motor mount is possibly from accident.

    I'd think it would be cheaper to get the right rear spindle fixed than to keep buying new tires. My boyfriend has been changing a lot of them for people because a lot of garages have been tightening the lug nuts too much to where they bend or break.
