Toyota Repair: front end, toyota solara, alighnment


Question
I have a 2002 toyota solara that i just recently purchased.It's a sle v6 convertable with 41000 miles. When you hit a bump it sends a shock through the whole car and the steering wheeel even shakes.  i have done an alighnment and have balanced the wheels.When i got the car it had a bent rim on the ri. front and a new tire on the le. front .I have a feeling that there is damage done on the front end but everything looks good .What would you suggest.

Answer
I would highly recommend taking it to the Toyota dealer and have the undercarriage inspected for any damage, it's very possible that it may have been involved in an accident before you bought it, it may also be a good idea to to a Carfax search, there is a small fee but it may be worth it to find out what was done or what repairs it had.
