Steering Issues after minor Collision
Hello all
Last weekend during the storm my 86 hydroplaned in a roundabout and the front right wheel hit a curb bending the control arm (Which I have now replaced), along with that, I had gotten an alignment done yesterday. Post all of this, I have been having some issues with my steering on the right side, this side feels heavier to move, and when turned and letting go of the wheel, the wheel will not return back to the neutral position and stays turned (doing a little wobble). Furthermore, when in the neutral position, if you pull down slightly and release, the wheel will wobble (Video attached). Wondering how I should go about getting these issues resolved. Thank you!

Did you re-balance the wheel after the accident?

I'd suggest you rotate the wheels (front to back) just to insure a wheel/tire isn't causing the problem.
If that doesn't do it, I'd suggest you have the right front wheel bearing and assembly inspected closely. |

Personally, I’m concerned about the multiple shiny threads on the tie rods. Requiring that much lengthening to correct the toe makes me think you still have bent/broken parts under there. Strut, spindle, steering rack, subframe have it all checked. Also, as previously suggested by another, have the wheel rebalanced if it hasn’t been. And, remove the tire from the rim and have both inspected if that wasn’t done as well. |

Now, about the original issue (s). A wheel balancing is ALWAYS recommended after a hit even if nothing seems visually bent. As for the steering effort, well... Quote:
