Bumped my wheel in snow. Poss damage?
Bumped my wheel in the snow couple of days ago,. Was turning left and the car decided to carry on going in a straight line,. Was at a slow speed of around 10mph and hit the face of the alloy into the kerb and pretty loud bang of the weight of the car bouncing off the kerb. drivers side 330s STI 09 hatch shape
Took the wheel off when I got home to check for any damage. Couldn't see anything obvious but my steering wheel is slightly off centre pointing to nearside but now I am getting steering wheel judder softly at 70mph on motorway and it pulls to the right.
Do Subaru have track control arms that are designed where they bend on impact to save suspension or chassis.
Wheels look straight could it be anything else? I've got it booked in for my next day off to be checked and have a four wheel alignment done.

i wouldn't drive it till you can get it checked out properly, if something is bent or cracked it could fail and you dont wanna be going at speed if it does.

I've had the wheel off when I got home and nothing is broken,cracked or snapped etc and ive given everything a good yank to check for play etc.
have to use it for work. No other car till my day off and is driving fine but just not straight.
Steering wheel judders softly not harshly about 70mph so I've been in the inside lane all week at around 50mph it's always heavy traffic on the way to work in the morning so I very rarely manage to hit 50mph anyway.

Big thanks to Adam at scoobyclinic
Had the car checked today at scoobyclinic and I've not damaged anything and I just knocked the tracking out. So had a full geometry set up done and it drives better than when I bought it last month, it really is like anew car.
So I gave it a nice wash and vacuum when I got home as a treat for not being poorly lol
