yeah just been for a cruise and must of came round a corner at 40 tried taking it two quickly. and i basically steered into a metal fence and broke my front steering arm now only one wheels (right side) turns. i looked and the arm is snapped in two. It dont look that bad. just wondering is 9this a costley job to do. It looks like it just neeed the rod to be bonded back togeather shall i go b ack to the fiat dealer for them to fix it ?

i wudnt take a chance get a dealer to look at it or someone who knows what they are looking at, if you hit it hard enough to break it there's a good chance you bent a shock or knocked something out of alignment, it sounds like you only broke a track rod end to buy one maybe 10, 20 euro plus labour best to be safe and get it done properly you tracking will be out that will need to be set or your car will chew front tyres up and you'll be fighting to keep the car in a straight line.
