My car is a 1989 Chevy Blazer, 280,000 clicks on it, and it is a 6 cylinder. Recently somebody smashed into my front right tire. After that accident my car steering wheel is pulling me right and when it does it makes a loud rubbing noise, and a very high pitched squeak. I turn my steering wheel straight and when I go out to look at the front wheels, the left one is straight but the right wheel leans to the right. Help me please!

Hi there,

You will have to have the front suspension inspected for damage, something is bent and there is a possibility that a steering arm is bent, You should get this inspected & rectified ASAP as the possibility that something may fail and cause an accident.
