As per title.
Hit it proper hard with front passenger wheel, dont pull to left too bad, still drivable, but let go of wheel and you off to the left pretty sharpish...
Wheel looks fairly straight, poss a bit toed out, unsure.
What am i likely to have broke, i presume you cant just knock the tracking out without actually bending summat, can you?

ARB I reckon. Did the same years back on an orion in the snow. Didn't hit kerb fast but gave it a proper clout!! It drove exactly how you describe the sierra

As said above, good chance the track control arm will have taken the brunt of the knock and probably bent, also check that the strut aint bent as bent one in my old 4x4 after hitting a kerb in the snow arseing around !! The hub takes a wallop and in turn bends the strut just above where it slides into the hub.

track rod or TCA i'd imagine....nothing too major i wouldn't have thought, unless you've twisted the inner chassis mount for the TCA..but i doubt it.

ah wicked, that sounds cheaper ![Surprised](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/bigcry.gif)
its only slightly out as it is, my S12 pulled more to the left than this, but this sierra handled good before i just fucked it, so would prefer to make it drive ok again

it's either going to be:
tracking, nice and simple
bent strut, nice and simple
bent tca. nice and simple
track rod end, nice and simple
bush on the arb/tca pushed out, again, nice and simple
bent steering arm, not so simple
bent crossmember, again, not so simple
top mount popped through, simple
amongst other things
then again, it might just be your wheel that's fooked
