So recently in an ice storm, I slid into a curb and now, to drive straight the steering wheel is sideways i guess would be the alignment. Anyways, i can turn the full turning radius to the right, but not nearly as far to the left.

Nothing looks to be bent when we all looked at it, and also, I did hit the curb with the right tire.

What could be the issue or what should i look at/replace?

 

Something is indeed bent. Inspect ALL of the steering parts, including the track bar (if you have a 4x4.)

 

Nothing appears bent. I've looked several times along with others.

 

Pic's? I'm siding with the "somethings bent" community. Tie rod, drag link?

 

Is there or is there not supposed to be small bends in the drag link or tie rod? Yes it is 4x4

 

Thinkin' about it.... check the adjuster sleeves, wonder if one of them was loose enough to just have the tie rod stuffed further into it......

Check out replacement parts with pics. See if they look like yours, or, if yours have a wee bit o' customization.

 

Depending on how it hit, you might have sheared or twisted something in the steering box. Be VERY CAREFUL driving around with it until you find what gave in the impact. It sucks having the steering fail even at 25 mph... Let alone any faster.

 

My tie rod and drag link each have a slight bend in them, right about mid-vehicle.


The track bar has a bend in it that follows the curve of the pumpkin.

 

Oh, boy, if I were you I'd either live with it or trade the truck off. You'll have to spend a lot of time and money getting it back to normal, and even then there's no guarantee. Not being pessimistic, just realistic based on my experience. Once something's tweaked in the front end, it will never be the same.

 

hard to guess without seeing how your wheel is sitting on the ground and how sideways you're talking with your steering wheel sitting. did the other wheel get whack out of straight too or just the one? might see if your adjuster bolts slid in the slots on your control arm. I'm guessing if one got slid forward and one back enough it could effect you toe.
