Disappearing ATF

There is frequently a vaccum modulator on automatic transmissions.

Not on that one. It's going somewhere. Was this a one time thing? DId you check it warm and level both times?

tranny cooler in radiator leaking, check coolant for pink crap. Chip

hey guys,

My car met curb pretty bad a few weeks ago while sliding in the snow out of a parking lot. Anyways, my rim is smashed along the inside. The tire isnt leaking air, but when i got over 90 kmh, it started to really vibrate. Anything over 110 is very shaky.

I got my ball joints and tie rod connectors replaced a few months ago. Is it possible that i ruined one of these? Im really just too scared to get it checked out. No news is good news i guess.

The tire is kinda wobly shaped now, but feels fine in teh city. Does anyone know if its possible to get the inner rim reshaped? or is the scrap yard for me.

Also, do i need to get my car realligned?

thanks so much, sorry for all the questions, alex

From your desciption you almost certainly need a new rim, plus I'd bet money you bent a tie rod at the least.

You are concerned with expense so I would start with a replacement rim and perhaps the tire too as you say the tire is "wobly". If it still vibrates then go for the alignment check. I've torn up some wheels bad enough to rip the tire off the rim and the alignment was still OK.
