Message: [QUOTE="supermoto, post: 1354669, member: 15023"] I have an 02 f350, this winter I didnt drive it much and it was parked on public city street against a curb. I had decided to drive it the other day and noticed that it was hit in the wheel/bumper area. Other than a significant dent in the side of the bumper, and some wheel damage - didnt appear to be terrible. Took it for a ride and the steering wheel was about 90 degrees cocked right - steering was loose. Drove it straight to the alignment shop. They say everything was tight - nothing was bent - but the alignment was off and did adjust. They adjusted the steering wheel as well. They suspected it was the steering box. Drove it home - steering still loose, and serious reduction of the left hand turning radius - I figured due to their adjustment. How would an impact to the wheel/bumper area on a stationary truck - have an effect on the steering gear? I would think tie rods or something else would be bent before the box if it was that hard. Just looking for other insight or possibilities so I can get a good idea of cost to fix. [/QUOTE]
