Hit steering parts into stump...hard!, what do i need?
Ok so i was bush whacking it the other day and smashed into stump, i didnt really think anything of it at the time because everything drove fine and looked fine. Few days later i noticed my camber was a little off on both sides about the same. Then I started to get a steering bind, which turned out, i finally found the damage. I smashed, what i believe to be, the drag link on the passenger side. it looks bent inward and now where one of the tie rod ends connects in the middle of the link, the back side rubs right in front of the spring seat. Metal is worn away and my tires are starting to wear poorly. Are these things all related? what exactly did i damage? where can a get a new one? sorry for the poor description and poor pictures.
