Best way to determine what´s wrong must be to put yourself on the ground and have a look i would say . Compare the 2 sides and if it is like you describe the damage SHOULD be obvious and visible.

Anthony 1,003 Posted January 15, 2008 Front or back? If it's the back, you've probably bent the stub axle. If it's the front, could be all manner of things including track rod, strut, wishbone or subframe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
