2003 Mustang Steering pulls left bad after and accident , screeching while driving help please

[dustbustet707]

I had an accident . A bird flew into my windshield scared the out of me and I hit a center divider(basically a sidewalk in the middle of the road) and popped tire cracked the rim . I swapped out the rim and tire and those are for sure good but now the steering wheel is off and the driver's side wheel points more left than the other and it seems like it's sitting farther back towards the body also . When I drive it's not bumpy or rough but the wheel pulls left,HARD and the tire make a screeching noise especially at high speeds and when I hit a bump in the road. Chewing up the tire .help

As i mentioned in our DMs, i think step 1 would be to take it to a good alignment shop. Either the alignment is off, or they will spot bent/broken parts within the front suspension.

I’m assuming it’s a Mustang-cause Stangnet. I’m assuming it’s a SN95-cause that’s the section we are in- details would be helpful-pics would be even better- going solely of what you have said-sounds like at the minimum a wasted control arm-possibly a tie rod or two-and definitely a knocked out alignment

Its an 03. He DM'd me about this mistakenly (unfamiliar with the forum)... here's what i was told:

I have looked under the front and I can't see anything that got bent or anything like that but I did ask my friend and he said it seems like that the wheel is sitting back more than the other side and I drove it and he looked at the wheel and it doesn't seem to be wobbling or anything but it's definitely turned more to the left than the other one and the steering wheel is a quarter turn when I'm going straight . But yeah I don't see anything bent or any gouges or scrapes or anything like that like something hit anything so I just don't know

Oh by the way so it's an 03

As previously noted by others…take it in for a front end alignment.

Call around to collision centers and find one that has a jig for checking frame alignment.
