60 MPH smash against 9 inch curb. Need help with hard steering

We had a tacoma recently that had a similar accident (drug fueled) that needed a rack after all the suspension work was done. Likely more, but the rack worries me.

But ya alignments are big with me. My whole family has straight tracking cars haha. I do mine every 6 months due to the gravel roads I drive.

 

this exactly happened to me. and it was hell to figure out, because nobody would dig deep enough until shop #4. a stripped bolt after over $2k in diagnostics. smh

 

Not a chance.

 

Thanks for the opinion, can't wait to get into it with all the advice.

 

Huge waste of time for the knowledgeable folks in here trying to help you. Throwing parts at it without knowing if the frame is in spec is ignorant.

I need a fuckin drink(and I don't drink)

 

That's a tough one especially with current condition. Perhaps until I fix the steering issue

 

My chev express can do that no problem.

 

I agree... check frame.. go from there.

 

Put large Snap-On decals on it to complete the rape-van look

Based off the first post only, (btw nice detailed damage descriptions and symptoms while driving).

Sounds like could be combo of bent wheel/bent LCA/bent spindal/pushed up strut tower/upper shock mount (would have to be serious impact transferred impact from lower arm through strut up to shock tower, which is possible if going +60).

Not sure way to find out from us keyboard warriors. Open up a new CC, take shop to truck, give shop your CC, come back in a few days and cry yourself down the road on shiny tears-covered pavement.

 

When I had a similar accident the insurance did all the work replacing the parts but never actually did the alignment because why would a dealer do that? Morons so I had to take it to a body shop and def had at least a bent knuckle and some other stuff. Hopefully you get lucky but def getting that checked will be key. I cant imagine nothing there is bent but crazier things have happened.

 

Why in the world would you start throwing parts when you have no idea what if anything is bad. The LCA is pretty stout and I would be shocked if it is bent. Of course I like you have no idea because you are not following common sense to fixing your problem. Maybe that is how you ended up in a run from the banditos to begin with. Poor decisions lead to poor decisions.

 

They weren't banditos. They were THUGS.

 

I like most things tight, but not a ,long ride in muh truck.

 

I did. See post #44.

 

I had some problems with my trade in that i did not disclose to the dealership. They took it in like nothing.

 

How did I miss that? Never mind, He needs to replace the entire front end.
