Steering specialist needed...
I bought my ke not soooo long ago with an aparent Bent left A arm.. However after looking at i dont think this is the only thing thats bent haha. :cry:
I need a garage or some one just to have a look and tell what exactly i need to replace and i will..Ive got some parts sorted just need to know what ones exactly.

For example if i was to let go of the steering wheel when moving the car would spin on the spot..Costanly pulls left (and i mean pull) And i might hav 1/3 of a lock to the left...So as long as i have right hand corners im sweet az 8)

But it would be nice to fix this.
1) to save my arms
2) So i can turn left
3) So my left front tyre will stop rubbing on the guard

Any help oppinions or places to go or people to see will be greatly appreciated.

If you dont find anyone, just replace the A arm, make sure steering tierods are not bent. Do a basic home alignment (easy with some wood and string). If it feels all good after that, get a proper one done.
Its quite possibly just the arm and alignment which needs doing, seen that many times with people who have kerb crashed at speed...but of corse could be much more major depending how it happened.

do the old compare one side to the other trick, look reel good at the bushes, angles of shocks, and the distance between each wheel and the gard.
