Cadillac ATS vibrating at highway speeds after hitting a pothole, alignment or something bent?
Hit a nasty pothole on the way to work last week, the kind that makes you wince and check your wheels immediately. Didn't see any visible damage at the time but now I'm getting a vibration through the steering wheel at speeds above 90 km/h and the car pulls slightly to the right. Took it for an alignment at one of those quick tire shops and they said they adjusted everything but the vibration is still there, which makes me think something is actually bent or a wheel weight fell off from the impact. The car is a 2017 ATS with the 2.0 turbo and I actually really enjoy driving it, so having this constant shimmy through the steering wheel is ruining the experience. Looking for a Dubai Cadillac most-trusted repair shop that can do a proper diagnosis rather than just an alignment check, someone who will actually look at the suspension components and wheels for damage. Dynostar seems to have a good reputation with Cadillacs and they list suspension diagnostics which is what I need. Anyone else with an ATS or similar GM platform had a vibration after a pothole impact that wasn't fixed by alignment alone, what turned out to be bent, was it a tie rod, control arm, or just a damaged wheel? I'm really hoping the wheel itself isn't cracked or bent because the factory wheels on this car aren't cheap to replace. Also wondering if these cars are particularly susceptible to pothole damage given the sporty suspension setup with lower profile tires, maybe I need to be more careful or consider switching to a slightly higher sidewall tire.
