Steering problem
1991 Honda Accord 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual 220k miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
i wrecked into a barrier. i replaced the wheel, front left lower control arm, and sway bar links. now the drivers wheel is straight but the right side is turned to the left. i hit the barrier on the drivers side, but there's a bar that connect to the control arm, and i've never seen it on any other car other than a prelude, this bar is bent, i don't know what to do, any clues? btw the bar isnt the inner tie rods or outer, or the sway bar. does anyone know what that is?

Hi shaggyshotgun,

Should be the strut rod (castor bar).

Press it straight and it will work, however get an alignment done.
