tie rod end
« on: 01 March 2009, 14:32:43 »

Hi guys,i hope everyone is doing ok.
I unfortunately had a little shunt in my car yesterday,as i was pulling out of a juction to the right i hit(not at any great speed)an old bag who let me out then decided to keep going,hence crash.
Anyway,i drove home and the front drivers side tyre was screeching a little and the steering was loose and had moved,like the tracking was severely out.
On inspection today,the tie rod end has been bent,and having looked on the guide seems a simple enough job to do.
My question is,can anyone advise me on what else may have been affected by the impact,or is it just a case of replacing the tie rod end and getting the tracking and camber checked?
Many thanks to you all. ;) :y

Personally, I'd get a complete 4-head wheel alignment check done.

This'll immediately show up ANY misalignment(s), so you'll know the full facts before going further.
