The braking thing sounds like warped rotors dude...

As far as rubbing... are you sure it's your suspension? Jack up the car and check it out... you might have a dead cat stuck up in there somewhere.

No I took the car in to replace the 2 front tires that split when I hit the 3 dips and asked them to turn my rotors they did not they said the rotors have very very little flux. with the caliper meter or something like that.

And I looked under the rims but didn't lift it it sounds like plastic and I feel it in the car.

Oh and the rear tires ned to be replaced aswell they have bubbles on the side walls now

I was going to last weeks raider ram game and on I-80 by green valley rd and 680 on ramp I hit three long poy holes like where the new asphalt meets the old one and it felt like they didnt grade it down it was just a drop or something but whatever it was my mirror droped dowm or ended up faceing dowm and my visor came down too.
well I hit the first and said oh ****tt by the time I looked back to see what it was I hit the next and the third I slowed down to about 52 mph but still got it at a lower speed
and thats what happend now I payed my for my 2005 tags which we pay to repair the roads so I think Cal Tran needs to pay for all this crap

LOL, yea, my other vehicle is 95 Chevy Tahoe 2 door, lifted 11", I swapped the rear axle out for a detroit locked dana 60 w/35 spline axles, and am currently in the process of designing a 3 Link front/rear coilover suspension for a dana 60 (front)Solid axle swap, full rock crawler style complete w/body armor and side/rear jacking points. I love wheelin and campin

edit: DWNSHFT, you can get them to pay for it, but you have to go to the city and get claim papers to fill out, and I have heard that it is NOT a quick process, that it could take months to actually get any money or repairs paid for. I would guess that you would have to pay for all the repairs and they would end up reimbursing you....eventually.

Good luck bro! keep us posted

You can't really rely on measurements for this, if the car shakes or shimmys under braking its like 99% probable that turning the rotors will fix it. And it only takes a tiny amount of runout or uneveness to do that.

Chances are that this is one of the fender liners or something, it probably will be hard to find until you get it on a lift

Man you must have really smacked it! Have somebody look at the wheels too, a hit that hard is likely to have bent one or more of your rims, and don't run too long with those blisters, thats the sort of thing that can blow out on you at speed leading to dire consequences.
