Default Steering Problem is back. . .?

Back in November I ran my last Fastest-Lap Challenge for the year. My son ran a bit off the track and ran over a large bottle cap. After the run-over; we heard grinding and then checked the chassis. I found a broken camber-link ball-cup and the suspension-arm was carved-up from the swing-shaft.

I installed a new camber-link ball-cup (I also installed a new ESC and motor).

Now the chassis pulls to the left.
-the front left and right wheels are pointing straight and they're even(I measured them with a caliper)
-when I turned the ESC on with all electronics connected; there is/was the searching - buzz'n sound come'n from the Servo.

Can a rough run-over cause a steering problem?

(I have an old - but works-fine Futaba 9451 Servo in the chassis. I'm go'n to try the stock servo and see if it gives the same problem.)

Thank You
