So I was driving my 96 zj the other day when it was icy out, went around a curve going about 10 mph, jeep lost traction and slid sideways and hit the curb and went over it. After I got out and looked everything over i got back in my jeep and my steering wheel was rotated about 45 degrees to the right. I corrected this yesterday by adjusting the draglink, what I am wondering is if my draglink is bent, my tires also seem to be toed out a little bit. Will an alignment fix all of this? Should I replace my draglink and tie rod ends? Below is a picture of my steering, not sure if anything is bent or not, Thanks
You may have tweaked the track bar or its mount. It doesn't take much to throw the wheel off center by a lot. Check the control arms, they're pretty flimsy and will bend easily.
