Absolutely Buggered Steering

[ethanboris]

:rolleyes: uhh messing around on the w/end and managed to slam with considerable force my left front wheel into a bluestone kerb, nice big dents and scratching on the rim.

also when steering wheel straight i'm pulling to the left, i'm having to compensate by holding the wheel to the right at about the 2 o'clock position.

it looks as if any rods or ties arent bent but i'm no mechanic so i'll post some pics soon probably tomorrow so mabey you'll see what i can't

Depending on how hard you hit you may hav bent the diff housing, wouldn't be the first time it's happend and sure won't be the last. I bent mine going silly one day getting huge air, After that i noticed the negitive camber on the front. Put her on the wheel alignment machine and it had just over 2.5 deg negitive camber both side's... Opps
All good now tho, stripped it down to a bare housing, got it straightend and had one of may steeley mate's beef it right up. (And no more jumps...lol)

thanks i'll get my mechanic to do a wheel alignment and see what the problem is

most likley you hit it hard enough that the steering colum has jumped a few splines.. Its actually quite easy to do your own wheel alignment. just 0 degree your toe in.
