Sloppy steering on 1*2

[Or172]

Hi
After my 172 got a "punch" from a sidewalk i feel the steering is sloppy.
I should change the subframe so i did.
Now it's way better but not like before.
I feel that in high speed the steering is too sloppy.

The garage checked the car and didn't found any other problems that happened from the strike, But maybe somthing happend and he didn't found it?
Maybe the lower wishbone? Is it affect the steering?
thanks.

What did you do? Sideways into a kerb?

Alignment is probably out

 

[Or172]

Wheel aligment checked
It was understeering into a high sidewalk on about 9mph

And all you needed was a replacement subframe? Is the wheel buckled? Top mount gone? Wishbone bent? I highly doubt there is no other damage. In fact I'd put money on it. Get it to another garage and tell them what's happened and let them look it over. Have you had the alignment done since the accident? If not it will be out guaranteed. You will need it done

About 3 garages checked it.
Aligment done after changing the subframe
Nothing happen to the wishbone,but i can replace it if it's maybe the problem.
Thanks for the fast response

It would be fairly obvious if the wishbone was bent. What about the bushes. They could be damaged? If you've had it at 3 garages though I think they would have found the problem. I thought you'd only had it at 1 garage.

The garages in my country are not professional enough to see if the bushes damaged. If you think it's may be the problem i will change it

BUMP
Ordered new original wishbones +TRW Inner & Outer tie rods + Original top struts mounts + Coilovers (Since the car is way stiffer and there is oil on the top mounts, I suspect the old coilovers are worn
Any more steering parts that i should order and the little accdient may cause them break?
Thx

Sliding into a kerb often puts large forces down the track rod into the steering rack. If you're still having issues after changing the stuff you've already ordered it may be damage to the rack itself.

Do the bolt holes between the subframe and chassis line up?
