Default bad bad bad

ok today i was driving, on this longggggggggggggg, deserted road...no i wasnt speeding...anywayz there this car comes, screeching out of nowhere right in front of me, i had to slam on my brakes, and when i did my tires start to skid, i wanted to let go so i could regain control but he just kept slowing down for whatever reason, my car starts sliding to the side, off into the woody area, misses a pole by about 2 feet ...anywayz...the guy stops, looks back ...and while im backing out of the trees he peels off and leaves...i get out, car looks fine on the outside besides the leaves and branches that came inside the car and on the windsheild and stuff...but now...when i drive my right front tires feels like its shaking, making a wobbling sound...what could this be? i really dont wanna take it anywhere if it is something simple...could any1 help me with this? its really killing me...thanx in advance...and :madfawk: to that asshole

do a burnout? thats what they do at the kinda-local nascar sponsored oval race track near me, when they spin, they just get into the infield and do a lil burnout......i guess that could be a ghetto fix...

take the tire off and roll it.. if it rolls unevenly then its a flat spot.. also get your car on jackstands and check your suspension for any bent or broken parts
