    Hold on a sec. You got camber plates and did the alignment? To what specs?

    Post them up. I actually think that's the reason. If you have a bent/unbalanced wheel, is also a good suggestion.

    How did you hit the curb? Straight on? Side swipe? Did you check your strut towers?

    Does your car pull in any direction, or does it stay straight? Just details.

      the camber was set to factory specs.
      the car does not pull.
      the balancing was done professionally.
      and i hit the curb at like a 60 degree angle. wasn't straight and and was no side swipe. i ended up going up and over the curb

          see a few posts up. It doesnt take much for those rotors to get warped. And when they do, they exhibit the same behavior you are experiencing

            brakes just seem like they would be an over time issue, my issue started right after hitting the curb. but when i can finally start to straighten out this issue i will replace wheels tires rotors and pads, then take it from there.

              Bent rims or not balanced front rims.This happened to my car recently.
              Had to do wheel/tyre balancing 2 times to get it right.
              N.

                Bent rim.

                Then check brakes.

                  Bring the wheel to a tire shop, and have them check it out.

                      Yeah, sounds like a wheel problem to me...seeing how my car used to do the same thing at 82 mph...yes 82, no sooner than that. Got some new tires installed so that meant they balanced them, and BOOM! Problem solved.

                          Dude if you hit a curb hard enough to bend a control arm your rim is shot. Start by putting on the spare.

                          Nonetheless you gotta feel my car at 70 lol.
