Hit monster pothole with about 30 km/h with facelifted c200 diesel, now steering is stiff and loose, it used to be very precise and good. No visual damage to tires or wheels.

Could this be steering component or suspension damage? Or it just needs a alignment? The steering also pulls, so an alignment is needed, but is the harder/looser steering a sign of other damage?

I will take the car to the shop as soon as i can (soon as they can book me).

Thanks

Have steering rack and outer/inner tie rods inspected for play/damage

Have the whole suspension checked over, potholes can do anywhere from no damage to tons
