So the missus works as a career out in the local villages and coming home tonight she sees a dead badger gets scared and mounts the highest f'ing curb known to man !! Then drives home with a huge egg in the side wall and tells me the steering wheel isnt centre and it pulls violently to the left :mad:

Any suggestions on what she could of bent or broken before i strip it down ??

track rod end is probs bent, might have cracked alloy or bent steelie. depending on how hard she hit might need new drop links too

Anything from a bent steering arm to a bent wishbone,

The wheel will probably be bent too, just stick it in the rear if it is and get it re-balanced

Check bottom ball joint and TRA for play, replace if cheap enough and get it tracked at a garage

Remember years ago a thread about a guy who kicked his wife out the house and I think they split up because she took out his Sierra Cosworth and kerbed a wheel lol

Remember tho, badgers are bloody big and bulky. Hitting one can easily rip the bumper off.

A guy I knew years ago had a XM and wrote off his car when he hit a badger at night, I don't blame her for swerving tbh.
