Default 2006 Monte Carlo question?

Hi everyone, I have question on my newly bought 2006 Monte Carlo. I recently took it in to have someone look at the rear end of it and they told me that the "cam" on the drivers back wheels in bent. Is this going to be a big problem for me? I bought a extended warranty with it, so that if anything was wrong with the car it would be fixed. Also why does my car say its a Limited Edition on the body of the car it also says that it is a SS turbo charger, than when I look it up online under the VIN number it tells me its a LS. Its probably a dumb question, so please understand I am learning.

Very hard to know much without seeing your car, or knowing much information about it.

VIN is usually the tell-all.

What engine do you have? LS would be the 3.5L engine.

No idea what a "cam" on a wheel would be. When you say cam, I think camshaft.

Default @006 Monte Carlo Question ?

On the tire balancing ratio paper work the computer says that I have what is called "Camrons " in the back . The drivers side is bent the wheel is bent in a bit and not straight which causes the tire to loose air. Its a V6,on the Vehicle history report it says it is a 4LI V6

I'd guess someone (probably the previous owner) put on some turbo/special ed. badges to make it look different

Welcome to the MCF. It sounds like you need to replace that wheel. You also need to check the strut and suspension pieces on that corner of the car to be certain nothing else is bent.
