I need some advice.

It's dark and late right now so I can't see what I did to my car. But here's the scenario:

I took a sharp right turn going about 70mph... the tires gripped maybe too well.. and now I've got some steering issues. The car goes straight fine.. then the second I hit the gas... it jerks violently right or left. It actually even does it without accelerating. That's all the info I have, as it just happened two miles from home. What should I look for in the morning;

1. Bent tie-rod?2. damaged tie-rod ends?3. some other steering failure?4. Shouldn't this car be able to handle some agressive driving?

The tires are both standing straight up... no toe in or out.. so the suspension should be fine...right?

Sorry... it's a 95 s14 stock front end plus OBX STB
