Hard to steer after being sideways and getting stuck in a ditch
Hey guys,
So as it says I ended up in a ditch. After I got out the steering was really tight. I checked the fluid quick and it was not low at all. When I go under the truck to check it out what should I be looking for besides bent parts. I was wondering if while i was side ways that could have done something with the front tire out of alignment maybe. I did not get to check since I drove it home. Any advice for what to look for and maybe to test out things to come up with a solution would be awesome. Thanks.

It's possible the steerign rack could be damaged too. Plenty of parts to check under there. Best bet is take it to a trusted shop for an inspection.
I ditched my old Shadow years back and I ended up bending the crap out of sway bars and strut towers......pretty nasty for a snow bank. Hope you find the issue and it's not too expensive.
