vp sedan front end suspension...

[jimmynail]

recently i off-roaded into the kerb! did the tie rod on the rack and the strut....but after putting in the new strut the wheel is still too far back! is this due to the lower control arm being also bent or has someone else had this problem and managed to fix it???

Id also be replacing the 'z' bar, i think its proper name is raduis rod?

and also the lower control arm in case it too is bent.

get the steering re aligned too

ruf 231 is on the right track, also the front of the x-member where the front caster bushes goes into it can pull back, and also the x-member can move back, look at the nuts that hold the x-member in and see if there is any whitness marks from the x-member moving back. about how much is it back?

[jimmynail]

it's only a tad over an inch off the rear so it is definately out of whack somewhere!
