Coming through a small village yesterday and a van coming through was taking up shit load of space tried to avoid it and hit a stupidly placed sticking out kerb, brand new car.. alloy totally kerbed was doing about 30.

pulling slightly to the left and getting a judder up through the steering, feels like the force feedback on a xbox wheel

what would cause that? what kind of damage am i looking at?

Wheel if it's not buckled will only be about £25-£40 to refurb. However you could have damaged anything underneath. Ball joints, track rods, suspension etc...Best bet is to get to a local garage for a full inspection.

i done the same to my fiesta when i had about 2000 miles on it

my steering wheel was out of line, had to hold it about 20 degrees to the right to steer straight.

turned out i'd fucked the front strut

can be anything though, as said.

my brother hit a curb and fucked the hub and the wishbone.
