My son hit a curb going abut 5mph and now the front rt tire is turn and will not straighten out is this the axle? How much will this cost? And can I drive it a few blocks or will it make it worse?

Hi there.

I would say at that speed you have a bent steering tie rod, driving will be dangerous as such an impact can easily fracture the socket retainer for the tie rod end and steering failure may occur with out notice, get it towed and stay safe.
