A few weeks ago my friend was driving my car and hit a cement median where a turning lane v's off.

It bent the rim horribly so I threw a new one on. Now there is a pulse in the steering wheel that happens about every second. It will shake twice stop for a sec and shake twice again.

So I replaced my axle because the boot was ripped before that happened and it still does this. Also when I popped the lower ball joint out to replace the axle, the whole upper control arm shot up straight to the top of the fender well. Ive never seen that ever happen, so this leads me to believe the upper control arm is bent.

Also when I hit the breaks the steering wheel shakes to ALL hell just at the first initial breaking.

So Im planning on buying a whole replacement kit, both upper control arms, ball joints, steering arms and everything since all the ball joints need to be replaced anyways (original 89). Thing that gets me is I didn't notice anything bent.

Just would like to know on some suggestions on whats the weakest part that would be susceptible to bending with a accident like that.

Also was hit at about 55mph, so it wasn't a weak hit.

 

check radius rods on crossmember too.

 

Bump, up for more suggestions. Wont have time to really inspect it until a few days.
