My wife has a 2020 Rad step thru. She hit a curb a few weeks ago and bent the front rim. After changing out the entire front wheel assembly, the steering is still a little sticky. Any suggestions on what to check for troubleshooting?
I really appreciate any suggestions.

a good place to start -
remove the cap stem / headset bolt - verify as not bent
remove headset and carefully drop fork (noting number of bearings, washers, spacers and positions of same) - verify headset bearings are not damaged and spacers / washers present are not bent or damaged
look down fork steering tube - verify no damage or misalignment of star nut.
any others care to chime in with suggestions?
