Toyota Repair: IFS Cradle arms, toyota sr5, wheel alignment


Question
Hey Mike,
I own a 2003 toyota SR5- 1-kzte engine ,rear lsd,electro-mechancal locking front diff.
I was driven off the road and damaged the front right wheel knuckle - steering end and steering link was bent. What other parts are likely to be affected by this? Should i be concerned about the upper and lower cradle arms being damaged?
Will there be any reliability problems with the steering box , pump etc after an impact like that ?

Answer
The easiest and most effective approach is quite simple really.
Replace whatever you know is bent.The perform a 4 wheel alignment. or have one done. Then youll tell if you need other parts. Things can be bent and look fine to the eye.

The steering box is pretty Heavy Duty.
