    Arrow I'm an idiot, and car won't turn

    Curbed it pretty good in this ice storm. Front right hit the curb, no visible damage to the body, tire or rim itself, but it's now rubbing against the inside of the fender towards the rear. Car is permanently stuck turning left and barely moves unless I floor it.

    Just looking for some input as to what parts could be broken and what the damaging costs should be.

    im guessing at least the tie rod... also, control arms are maybe bent.

    If the tire is rubbing against the back of the fender, track control link (front control arm), guide link (rear control arm), possibly tie rod, sway bar, and control arm brackets if you hit hard enough.

    Take the wheel off and have a look and or post some pictures when you have a chance.
