300 C front steering problem?	Sign In

I just got into my 2006 Chrysler 300C and when I backed out I heard a weird noise coming from my front passenger wheel well so I went out side to see what was wrong and I noticed that with my wheel straight the left front wheel was straight but the passenger side was turned in at a 45 degree angle. I am just initially trying to troubleshoot to find out what could be broken and how much the part and the labor should cost when I take it into the mechanic. It is a bummer because it is a leased vehicle and my return date is in less than 2 weeks, I appreciate any feedback and my best guess is that it has to do with something in the steering or the suspension but if I could narrow it down to possible parts so that I could look up the price online I can start to plan for the damage to my pocket.

If the wheel is still supported and upright but just steering in the wrong direction and you haven't totally crashed the suspension, then it's a problem with the tie rod, either broken or disconnected.
