First time posting here so I'm hoping this is the right place...
In January my car slid into a sidewalk at about 5mph. Busted my rim. Had the rim replaced.
Since then I've had a little bit of play in the steering, some vibration, and a whaa whaa whaa sound when turn which is dominant in left hand turns but sometimes switches to the right (not often). I've had mechanics go over all the wheels, mounts, rotors, and bearings only to be told theres nothing wrong with them. Also noticed a decrease of power and acceleration and at speeds of 100mph+ my ac stops working or at 70mph on left hand turns.
Recently I've been reading that it might be the pulleys or the belts. My belts are a little frayed and look like crap so those are gonna be replaced but before I do I'm wanting to know any more thoughts on the possibility of bent tensor etc. I can't really get a good view of them and if it's only acting up at higher speeds I wouldn't notice if one was slightly damaged at an idle or when car is off i think.
any thoughts? I'm not a car hypochondriac haha I swear I'm hearing something and there is OBVIOUSLY a problem.
