MY XR3i CAUGHT A KERB AND HASN'T FELT THE SAME, TO DRIVE, SINCE. I REPLACED THE WHEEL ON THE ROADSIDE, ENSURED IT WAS TIGHT ENOUGH, BUT SINCE THEN IT FEELS LIKE THE FRONT OF THE CAR IS ROCKING AS I DRIVE. IS IT LIKELY TO BE TRACKING OUT OR IS IT LIKELY TO BE STEERING PART BENT? MANY THANKS.

Hi there,

you may have bent a steering rod, the lower control arm or even the strut or tower, get an alignment check and this will tell you where your problem lies.
