I hit a little median on the driverside and my car is pretty slammed. checked my arms and toe none is bent but when i turn, the steering column rubs/grinds against one of the metal covers next to my turbo. im not sure whats damaged or what the possible outcomes may have been for hitting the median. could it maybe be that the steering column bent or the whole engine slightly dropped which caused the steerin column to get so close to the cover

please help

Possible column or arm or subframe.... Take it to a alignment show and figure it out or mechanic shop.... Don't ask.... there isn't much you can measure or eye...

possible bad motor mount? my driver side mount went to shit, i couldnt accelerate hard while turning right because the steering shaft would rub up against my downpipe and it would feel really rough
