broken strut?
Hello,
I hit a ditch that bent my front control arm. I replaced it with no problems. But, on the test drive I lost steering for a second. I was turning and the car kept going straight. Got under there and noticed the tire was closer to the suspension than the other. I snapped these pictures and it looks like theres something broken there. Please take a look and let me know what yah see there. I took a pic from each side for comparison. thanks, Cam

I cant tell from that pic.
Do you mean the tire is closer to the lower spring stay on one side? That would be a bent rim or bent steering knuckle. Look at the pivot points where the steering knuckle meets the strut. What sensor wire is wrapped around your spring?
