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.

I bought a step-through for my wife and I'm looking for a skid plate that will fit it.  I can't seem to find one that will work.  Does anybody know of one that might?  Thanks for any input you can provide.
