sorry to hear that - but Rudolph had it coming, with all the running he was doing lately!!!!

check the engine mounts, check the suspension parts - the front end is designed to dissipate the impact energy to protect the passenger cage.. it does so by absorbing energy in many places in the engine compartment, and you might not even suspect a location of damage as the energy may have transferred there... the steering shaft may have invisible damage, as it is a piece going from outside to inside... engine is designed to collapse under the car and even crumble... thus check the engine mounts...

good luck with your repairs... look into the front PDC - it is retrofittable...
