Is that the drag link or tie rod hanging out under the front?

Texted my buddy who builds jeeps, he says it’s a sector rod shaft. Not good i assume

The zoomed in picture shows it is the pitman arm and drag link. The steering box splined shaft must have sheared when the wheel hit the other car.

That's a bummer @Nickp 
Glad to hear you are ok.
That would be the shaft that comes out of your steering gear box where the pitman arm connects the drag link to the gear box. Looks like the pitman is still attached to the linkage in the pic.
Won't have that problem in you Bronc, it has a rack not gear box.

That's awful, Nick. I'm glad you're okay, but what terrible timing.

Glad to hear you’re okay, everything else can be replaced. Steel bumper going forward, maybe a snow plow too.
