I have an 08 Tl-S 65k i just notice this problem after i slid across an icy road and went over a sidewalk there was no damage to the body but my wheels hit the curve pretty hard. Now everytime im driving on rough roads my steering wheel would slightly jerk to the left or right. Im thinking it might be my camber kit or cv joints im not sure havent got it check out yet should i just take it to the dealer?

 

no damage to the car?
i think not!!

you messed up something underneath.
look under your car!
see if anything is obviously hanging/broken.


if nothing is visibly broken, take it to a mechanic to check all suspension components.

 

I meant no damage to the body. But thanks ill have someone look at it hope its nothing too serious.

 

Couldn't have said it better myself! Bent tie rod, bent lower control arm, bent subframe.

 

Tie rod damage was my immediate thought since you're having steering issues. Take it to a reputable mechanic. Who knows, maybe you just need a fresh alignment. Good luck.

 

I hit a big pothole a few years back which gave no "visible" damage to the car, but for sure knocked my alignment all wacky. My car would still drive straight, but any throttle changes on the highway or imperfections on the road would cause it to veer off abruptly to the left or right.

Lucky for me, nothing needed to be replaced and just needed to be adjusted by the dealer. Hopefully it is as simple as that for you by getting it re-aligned.

 

Update , is this fixable ?


Right side above CV axle

& on the driver side cracked control arm smaller bushing

Steering is out of wack for sure
