Pot holes suck.
Pot holes suck.
Okay so one day I was cruising along the BAM ******* crater in the street. Oncoming traffic and what not. Hit it, steering stayed crooked. Its cocked around 30degrees counter clockwise when the car is going straight.
Any idea what could be wrong? I don't see anything thats noticeably bent. Also steering rack bushings, are those replaceable and if so where do I get them?

Lower control arm, spindle, strut/strut tube, tension rod, center link, tie rod, pitman/ilder arm, your choice. Set the steering wheel straight, then find the wheel that's not sitting straight and work from there.
Yes the balljoints just have to be pressed out. Also, you don't have a steering rack, you have a recirculating ball system. But all of the stuff that wears out can be replaced fairly cheaply.
If you do replace stuff, I would just do it all at once.
I get my stuff from here:http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/raframecatalog.php
I imagine your steering wasnt the greatest to begin with so this should help alot!

Also, get a service manual so you can know everything that you are looking at.

Here is what the steering setup looks like. More than likely, something is slightly bent.
