Front end problems on a 74 Super

[Kenny2428]

Well, I got in a wreck back in January, and the guy hit me in the front driver's side fender, and crushed it. That was no big deal, but he also hit the tire, and ever since, the front end seems wayyy out of alinement! I have to hold my steering wheel turned halfway to the left to keep it going straight...I thought my tie rods may be bent, so I replaced both of them...and that didn't help. Hopefully my frame isn't bent?! OH, I also replaced the control arm, that made no difference! Maybe the balljoint is bent? I am going to order new balljoints, new adjust-a struts, and springs from topline, and I will see if it can be alined. The reason I have waited so long to fix it is because my tranny blew up, so I had to replace it, then buy a new fender, then new tires, then I lost my job, lol! Now I have a job, and I have money now...

Are the wheels straight when the wheel is turned? Or is one wheel staight and the other crooked?

[Kenny2428]

Both wheels are straight

[vwpride73]

Have you taken the wheel off since the accident? Maybe something was tweeked?

[Kenny2428]

Yes, I have taken the wheel off since the accident, remember the BRMs I sold? Nothing looked bent, but I replaced the tie rods anyways...

I meant to say steering wheel.
