Hitting a serious pothole or slamming a curb will bend it.
There are many causes for a tie rod on a vehicle to bend. This can occur due to hitting a pothole while driving or a curb.
Yup! i did it yesterday. All the fluid came out in a matter of seconds. It blows dont ever drive over a curb
I seriously doubt it but if you have a really horrible car that you are driving and you hit a curb maybe, but I really do not think so.
No, normal driving will not bend a tie rod. It takes a large shock from a large pot hole, a curb or a collision to bend a tie rod.
Possible broken a-arm, or bent wheel.
You more than likely bent the wheel or you threw a weight off and the tire is out of balance. Have your tires balanced. They will know if you bent the wheel.
Striking a curb, hitting a pothole at higher speeds. Defective Tire. Striking a curb, hitting a pothole at higher speeds.
You still had a accident. What you hit was a curb.
It sounds as if your vehicle might have suffered some serious damage when you hit the curb, especially since you hit the right tire but the vehicle pulls to the left. The fact that your vehicle shakes when braking means it may be unsafe to drive. It is possible that the brakes could fail completely when you need them the most. Have your vehicle inspected and repaired by a qualified mechanic immediately. After that, stop hitting curbs.
Either hitting the curb caused the leak, or the leak was already there and the impact from the curb aggravated it. Either way, it's really irrelevant - you have a transmission leak, and that needs to be repaired if you want to continue using that vehicle.
