Polaris I bent something on my 900XP

Was driving through a field of weeds and hit a big hole. Completely stopped my RZR and now one tire is toed out a little bit. The steering wheel is also way off of straight now too. I can't see anything bent. Arms look fine and so do the tie rods. What would you do to start looking for a fix?

Look at the front upper control arm Pivot. Ill bet the head of the bolt is nearly ripped out of the chassis. Then look at the upright tube where the rear portion of the upper control arm mounts. Also the lower control arm rear pick up point. One more item to take a gander at is the tie rod mounting bolt. I have seen a few of those bend as well.

I installed a stiffening kit on this thing a few weeks ago. Tabs and bolt holes look to be inline where they should be.....
I feel like the tierod does have a slight bow in it. Anyone know how to remove this end so I can see it in the open?

They unthread. Disconnect the end at the spindle, then unthread it. You will find a flat spot to put a wrench on near the end attached to the rack. Think a 19mm works but a Cresent wrench will do.
