I was picking up speed after a stop sign and my steering wheel got very loose and my truck jerked uncontrollably to the right jumping the curb. then the steering went back to normal as if nothing happened and my gas petal now makes a rattling noise as if im shakin a spray paint can.
Track bar. mine did exact same and almost ran off the road.
I think that when you hit the curb your distributer moved (all depending on the year of your truck). Go to a garage and have them check your timing with a timing light, or just for now you can do it by ear. Just make sure to tighten the hold down bracket with a 1\2 " wrench.
About your steering... I would check your ball joints, track bar, tie rods, pitman arm, and other steering components to see if there is any play. As for your steering jurking around, it could be a bad wheel bearing (or if it is cold where you live maybe your steering stabilizer seal is worn and some water got inside and froze causing a lack of steering).
