I was playing in a wet parking lot this weekend, drifting through puddles, and accidentally hit a speedbump cluster FAST (didn't see it under the water). Well, it rattled the hell out of my VX, and now when turning to lock, I can feel the tires sticking, like there's a serious toe-in or toe-out misalignment. When in idle, with the the steering wheel turned all the way to lock, my VX won't budge. What do you techie guys think? Is it a simple alignment issue, or did I screw something up worse than that?

Anyone have any ideas?

look for a bent steering link. Maybe it is bent and pulling the wheel in too much and locking something up.

Just an idea

Thanks. Messed up steering linkage is my worst fear. I haven't had a chance to get under there and look yet though.
