Welcome to Winter! Help!

[grnrngr]

Stupid me.. I had a brake problem that I ignored, went around a curve, they didn't work and I slammed a curb at about 30 with my right front wheel. Broke the right side exhaust manifold, and set the wheel back about an inch or so. My previously straight steering wheel now points about 10 oclock. Don't see any readily identifiable damage to the front end, except the wheel is noticeably "in at the bottom" (camber? vertically viewed from front), Anyone know what the first thing to bend on a '90 twin I-Beam is? or would an Explorer front end be an upgrade? Folks... if your brakes don't work right, fix 'em...it's usually more expensive not to.....and bad things happen a lot more in the winter.

Yes, an explorer front end would be an upgrade. Pics would help, but I'd look at the hub/spindle area to check for damage.

When I got hit from the side it bent the part of the beam where the ball joint presses in. This was on the driverside beam. I replaced it and reused my pumpking and gears.
