    some help please

    Hey guys, friend of mine hit his e30 into a gutter today. it was a slight hit on the front spoiler and caused some gutter rash on the front RH wheel. He drove off after and the steering wasn't aligned, slightly off centre. Can it be a damaged control arm or damaged wheel? he's pretty paranoid lol

    Yes...

    Could also be a tie-rod is bent

    he's pretty paranoid
    No reason to be. Both are easy to replace.
