2004/1.6i Vtec Sport-Steering prob after knock?
Hi...thanks for taking the time.
Stopped in a narrow lane when confronted by a tractor....moved over to the left for it to pass but didn't see the shallow'ish kerb there.
Can't imagine I was doing more than 2/3 mph but with stupidly low profile tyres it still felt like quite a whack.
Limped home at under 30mph as anything more had the whole car juddering too bad, steering wheel in particular.
Kinda shocked & kinda wondering what on Earth I've managed to do so easily?....myself, son, wife & neighbour have all looked centrally at the thing sitting down the drive a wee bit & we all swear that the other, drivers side, front wheel now looks to be slopping noticably inwards at the bottom, as per a backwards slash.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated ta, I'm stuck on the moors & miles from any garage.

Probably needs to go to an alignment shop to understand the full extent of the damage
