Eh....so I was driving home from school today and I turned a corner and stupid enough didnt pay attention and hit the right wheel against a curb at about 20mph. So...extremely pissed because I was stupid and didnt pay attention, i countersteer and to my surprise, the steering wheel becomes heavy. I turn right and it'll stay that way, i turn left, it'll stay that way. I think i might've either been the drivetrain, lower axle arm, or subframe...anyone know whats going on? Again, its difficult to steer, the smoothness of the steering is now completely gone. I drive a 99 TLP.

 

sounds like you fucked up your power steering.. was your wheel turned all the way or almost all the way when you turned and hit the curb?

 

sounds like you messed up the rack and pinion and bent some tie rods

 

go to an alignment shop and get it checked out...

 

My wheel was turned all the way when i turned...I was heading out to different alignment shops but they said they were all full of cars....so I'm gonna wait till tomorrow to see whats going on. I think you're right...I think I lost power steering.

 

the wheel was turned all the way and you hit a curb-
ok- its not going to be good when the shop looks- may be bent control arms, damage to the rack, bent rim and possible cv axle damage

If itsreally bad you may be able to get help under the comprehensive part of your insurance coverage

 

Aww...I hope so....is it still drivable or do I need to take another car? I can drive it but it seems like theres no power steering.

 

I'm going to guess that everything he listed here is damaged. Find out what's exactly brokn and then call insurance. It will def be more than your deductable.

 

If the steering is funky call the tow truck!
How would you feel if you take out a family because suddenly you have no control

 

Alright....I was just wondering if I could've taken it to school....but i'm sure i'll take it to the dealer or repair shop today to get it checked out. Oh and also, i called acura service and they said it would probably cost me $1370 if the above listed is broken.

 

Go and have the front wheel alignment checked out. The front suspension on FWD cars is very delicate. It is very easy to bend some suspension components whenever the front wheel hit a curb at speed.

 

Alright...so I got the car checked out at a shop today and they said that it was the rack...so I gotta find me a rack and get that replaced soon....
