Wow! Didn't even look like a big deal (the rocks you were dealing with). Must have pushed the tires just the right way and bendnt that puppy.

Did a ignition key code check on my 93 grand cherokee......
No codes! Weird, with all the issues with electronic items not working and all the darn wires cut you would think i'd have a couple codes. Gotta love PO's!

Got a call from security office at my high school. Left my Hellas on. Walked out to the lot to shut 'em off and battery was as dead as dead can be.

I could be wrong, but I think he bent the steering previously a little while ago, then bent it back.

And if that's the case, then its weaker now and will bend much easier

Correct. Bingo. winner!

I have bent my steering numerous times. That is why i said "the usual"

I just cant afford even the ZJ upgrade right now. So...I will sleeve my Tie rod with Black pipe or something similar until I can afford an upgrade
