Default finally happened...


Stang got away from me for the first time last night and I slammed into a curb going about 25-30mph at an angle. other than the rim being mangled, my steering wheel is out of line. i don't notice anything else though. anyone have ideas as to what all i screwed up? thanks.[/align]

Check your tie-rods definitely, you probably bent one.

would the tire rod be the cause of the steering wheel being out of line?

That sucks. You have to be careful with these cars. They might not be the fastest in the world, but they have enough power to get away from you if you get on it.

+1 on taking it to a trusted mechanic, who knows what all could be messed up[:'(]
