hit a curb..

[AddictedtoBoost]

so long story short, hit a curb, replaced lower control arm and put adjustable tension rods on while i was in there. now one of my wheels is turned noticeably while the other is straight. the wheel isnt turned so much that i cant drive it, but enough to where I wont because of the tire wear.

I was just wondering if a alignment could fix this or if something else might of gotten bent also?

I would do the alignment anyways to see what it reports. Post the results and I am sure we can narrow the problem down further.

tie rod

tie rod

yep that'd be my guess, there probably the weakest link if you hit a curb at the right angle

i hit a curb too, only this one was about 8-10 inches high, and im lowered about 1.5-2. aftermath was my tie rod was in the shape of a lower case r, and the front tow hook and piece where the tension rod attatches to were bent back thus holding my tire back rubbing the wheel well. i have some pictures if anyone needs to see them but i was just wondering if that rad support was replaceable or what? so if any of you work at a body shop or know a good amount about it, i would appreciate any help i get.

thanks for the suggestions.. when I get some time off work ill swap the tie rod out.. it doesnt look bent at all but maybe it is slightly and i cant tell.. either way they need to be replaced after 20yrs..

and the same thing happened to me 300na-sty .. the tension rod connects to two things, the lower control arm and the tension rod bracket? (i think its called haha) the lower control arm is closer to the wheel and the tension rod bracket closer to the engine, and the top of the bracket is bolted in underneath the sway bar. either way their both replaceable, fairly cheap too
