I just bashed my front wheel on a curb and now have a skew steering wheel when driving in a straight line.

The car is a 2005 STi UK and i am sure i have bent what i thought is called a tie rod. (If you were to set your toe in or toe out you would adjust this rod.)

First question, what is it called?

Second question, anyone know an online shop where i can get one??

Cheers

 

i assume this is what you want although you will need to clarify that this is the right part.

Nice one fella. That might just be it! Cheers

 

no probs just double check to make sure

 

Sounds like your Track rod is bent, must of been a heavy impact to bend that?

best thing to do is to jack the front up and take both front wheel off and have a look. You will see the track rod going to your steering rack, put a small ruler along the edge to see if it is bent, also check your TCA/wishbone, I have know these to go under heavy impact.

 

I had the car up on the ramps when i had the wheels re-alignment after the bash and it is defo bent. When the mechanic turned the rod to adjust it there was a kink with about a 10mm offset.
