What have I broken?

[miniman]

You know those boulders they use at motorway services roads to stop errant drivers accessing the grass verges? Here's a nice street view from Reading services (extra points for guessing East or West carraiageway!):



Anyway, last night whilst momentarily distracted after 8 hours in the car with 3 kids, I drove over one

Frankly given the massive bang and rapid descent back to ground level, I expected to see a wheel hanging off but all seemed ok on face value. I checked over as much as could get at underneath and there seems to be no damage, however there is definitely something wrong as the vehicle feels imprecise, and there's a slight sticky point in the steering. We limped slowly home and the front tyre went down a few miles later - I assume its related although it does have a nail in it.

Tyre changed, we carried on and got home slowly. It gets dragged into lane 1 tramlines much worse than before and there's a definite odd feeling about it. Obviously the tracking is way off.

Any thoughts on what I'm dealing with? It's going in to the garage on Monday for a good going over. Could the steering box have been damaged? I can't believe I'll get away with just the tracking and a tyre!

Edit: it's a facelift Disco 2 TD5, by the way.

You actually drove over one ???

Ahem, yes pretty much! I got out assuming it would have just ripped the front wheel off but it seemed to have just dealt with it!
