Front A-Arm Bent?
So, this has been said 50 trillion times before in this forum. Drifting and curbs dont mix.
This being said you probably know whats coming next. I just need to verify and then fix.
I hit a curb with the passenger side front wheel on the 91 s13. This created a nice little angle. It is turning left while the driverside front wheel is str8. I put it up and looked to see if I could see a bend, but do not know what I would be looking for. During steer to fulllock, there are smooth with little resistence spots, and normal feeling resistence.
I thought maybe tie rod, then possibly a-arm, my question to youse guys is how would I differentiate the two in diagnosing this problem.
As always Appreciated Info.

Your tierod is bent , if one wheel is turning left and the other is straight. Do not drive the car , it is dangerous to drive like this. Your control arm maybe bent as well, but your tierod is definetely bent.
