Well just had my 1st car crash. The story:

Was going to get some lunch and was pissing down today so thought id drive down 10 min down road to get lunch all was well til I got to a round-about went to go round it started to then where its a small hilly one puddle at bottom of it went thru it and tried to turn but carried on going straight..... into the curb :(. Was'nt even going fast about 10 mph maybe slower but now i cant steer straight unless I hold wheel at 90degree angle and very hard even then!

So my question is what could be possible faults? Im not very educated about works of cars but i know a little, ive got my mate looking at it on tuesday but wanted to know worst case and best case scerinos. I thought it was the steering coloum is ****ed?

Thanks in advance for any replys

depending how you have hit it then it might just be that the Track rod end needs adjusted. or ur looking at a possibly a bent lower arm
