Hi everybody, so recently I slid my car on some ice and hit my front passenger wheel into a curb. I had to replace the subframe of the car and they realigned my wheels, but since I've gotten my car back it seems like the steering wheel is not turning as stiffly as it was before. Previously I could turn the wheel ever so slightly and it would pull that way without a problem but now it seems like I have to pull the steering wheel much more in one direction to get the car to turn that way. Does anybody know what this may be due to? I also notice that the steering wheel begins to vibrate, but only when I hit above 70mph. The car stays perfectly stable but I can feel the steering wheel shaking, it does not shake when I am at lower speeds or when I am accelerating, just a higher speeds

Thanks for your advice!

 

Take this how ever you want. I think its just your mind playing with you. Your car is never gonna be 100 percent the same as before. Give it some time you wont even think about it.

 

Welcome to the club, I did the same thing 5 years ago & it isn't the same, and never will be like it was from the factory. I get the vibration, uneven tire wear in the front, numerous alignments performed only to be told "That's just how it is". I've learned to live with it. I honestly believe some other front end part is bent but its impossible to correct it because it can be anything.
