Hoping some might have some insight or thoughts .. Late Saturday night I went to pickup my daughter at her friends house and head home. Pulled into an unfamilar CVS (24 hour pharmacy /conv store) to pick up some last minute Easter candy. I was paying attention to the pickup starting to move and did not notice the parking lot light pole until my daughter yelled. I did not even look before I instinctively hit the brakes. I then saw the concrete base of the pole but despite brakes the trucks inertia was more and I tapped the pole. Enough to cause a loud bang and crunch. My daughter and I where fine. I might have been doing 5 to 8 mph and slowing when I hit. No air bags deployed. The darkness did not help my pride as I got out and people where laughing. Including my daughter who pointed out she got her lic and should be driving instead of me.
Anyway, the bumper is cracked on passenger side Near coner of grill. The vertical clips of grill on passenger side are busted, and The trim piece between the grill and passenger headlight is also busted. All the lights work and truck runs fine
But there is a slight vibration I can feel. Like a rough idle but not as unsteady. Evn my son said he can notice it from the passenger seat. Plus he says it sounds a little different. Like said. It starts normal, runs normal, no warning lights, turns fine.
Is it possible that shock from the hit might have knocked something off kilter? Any thoughts?
