i hit a curb doing 65 2 weeks ago... i got ran off the road. anyways i hit it with my wheels turned all the way to the right. it pushed my wheel under my car and pushed it back to the rear of the wheel well. this was the driver side right. anyways. it bent my contol arm in half and my ball joint in half also. my seatbelts locked and wouldnt release. airbag light came on and steering was all messed up. i personally replaced the control arm and ball joint, got an alignment and its still messed up. the wheel is cambered out, the top of the wheel is out, not in. i am also lowered so it should be cambered in not out. the steering wheel wont go back to center when its turned, it stays there. its very hard to turn.....
