Question concerning alignment
I have a 94 vtec with 130k miles and a little lowered.
Well, the accident wasn't really bad at all. I hit a guy's truck; the front passenger side of my vehicle clipped his steel tow ball in the back of his truck. It hit a metal piece of my car just to the right and behind my headlight and did a little damage to the bumper/splash guard.
Now, I was only doing about 20 MPH, and now my steering wheel is cocked to the left when I drive, and the car pulls right. I know my upper ball joints need to be replaced, and I had a friend check my tie rods, he said they seemed to be okay, except one had bad bushings.
My ball joints were bad before the accident, and my car still drove really well. Even if my wheel DID get hit, what are some possibilities that would cause this sudden misalignment? Nothing looked bent to me...Could I have affected my steering assembly directly?
