Hit a deer, what to look for

[JaySimon]

Hey,

So, this morning on my way to work, I pasted a deer. Long story short, deer dead, and truck now pulls to the left. I hit his rear quarter panel (For lack of a better term) with the drivers side bumper. This was on the highway.

Truck is a 1990 F250. Could the pulling be due to frame bending?

Really, what should a guy look for.

Thanks in advance, and here's to hoping nothing is wrong.

Ford....frame bending.....yup!

Well if that is the case, I am going to have even more F words to be spread around. I'll check once it gets sunny out here.

Thanks again

Low tire maybe .Prolly just needs a wheel alignment.Those years of trucks were fairly strong.Look at the hood to fender gaps on both sides and see if it is even .If it is even then chances are there is NO frame repair needed.

Steering wheel offcentre now? Deer shouldnt bend frame but hard to tell. How big was the deer? Keep the deer or let it sit in the ditch?
If steering wheel is off now you have bent something

Checked all the gaps, gave it a solid once over, and everything is fine. It was the road I was on that had the truck pulling left. Steering wheel is centred, all is well.

Turns out I over-react sometimes, guy has to have a solid haul truck after all.

Thanks again for your tips. Happy new years!

I would say you bend a tie rod maybe I cant see you bending a fram on a super duty by hitting a deer.
