Hey guys,


Here is what the left side looks like. Wasn't a bad curb hit but have a vibration at low speed and the steering isn't centered.


I am thinking tie rod and control arm. Anything else I should be looking at?

hard to tell, but i'm guessing you bent a wheel at least. how off centered is the steering wheel? does the car pull left or right when driving?

Did you hit the car on left ? If you did check your lower control Arm on your left side if you hit it on your right the check your Rght Arm I'm Sure it should be that

Does the control arm on the other side have the same bend (droop)? Its the rearmost one.
