So after a year of driving on the infamous Greek road network which resembles the lunar surface both front alloys seem to be a little bent.
I did the classic 'raise the car, turn the wheels by hand and watch for irregular movement' test and it is there, barely, but there. Rear wheels are still ok.
On motorway speeds I think there is a slight vibration on the steering wheel at around 110 km/h but its hardly noticeable.
The question is: I can get the alloys straightened but I've read this reduces their overall structural integrity. Which means that after they 've been straightened they will be more susceptible to bending.
Is this true? Should I straighten them or wait until they get worse? Also, which method is best for our alloys?
