Good morning!
Last week some Bozo tried to pass my wife on the right hand side while she was turning right (single lane).
Anyway our 1998 Cross country took a tremendous shot to the right side. The impact started at the passenger's door and went up to the front quarter panel and the front wheel finally stopped the collision.
Outside of the obvious damage to the exterior I am concerned about mechanical damage. I am fairly sure the front steering rack is toast since the seals are all leaking and the wheel is tilted inward at the top. When I last drove the car it sounded like sand in a dryer from the passenger side wheel (don't ask me who I know what sand sounds like in a dryer).
Anything else to look into? Front axle? Engine mounts?
Thanks
David
