Nope, backed up, it did the same thing, took it around the corner and couldn't see anything under the car. Drove out onto the street then a few clunks later I decided to pop around the corner into a nice quiet street just in case. Something else fell off the front end somewhere banging under the car as I was pulling up from about 40kmh. Couldn't find what fell off, got me stumped where it is, but the front passenger side wheel is rattling around like it's not bolted on, but it is. Waited 3 hours for a tow,,,,WTF,,,,couldn't believe it. Anyway, she's at New Oak Ford now, they'll be checking it out tomorrow. Don't know whether it's got a collapsed ball joint, or bolts fallen out of the control arm or something?? No eyed deer.Will update tomorrow....

Not a warranty item cos it's aftermarket. Maybe they didn't do them up when I put the new wheels on?? Hard to say considering I've done some twisty's runs in the meantime.No damage at all cos I didn't drive it so that was good. Will cost me $100 or so and pick it up tonight.It was good riding in to work this morning though, may do that more often..

What hell are the shims for a wheel alignment? I didn't think that they used shims unless it's what XR06T thinks, the wheel weights
