Wrecked my car last night... I hydroplaned off the highway and into a ditch at 55. Amazingly the body was in good shape but I had to use the steering arm to attatch to tow chain because I was really stuck. Now my right front wheel is pidgeon toed. Anyone have any idea on how much getting a new steering bar installed and alignment redone?
just curious...
by the way, BFG Drag Radials are TERRIBLE in the rain. Beware!

Re: Wrecked my car last night... Thanks. I put it in the shop today. I had to get a new inner tie rod, outter tid rod, and thank god the rack was ok. All this and lessening the backlash on my 10 bolt came out to $310. Couldve been alot worse, I guess.
