Hit A Bump, Car Didn't Stall On Spot, But Won't Start

Driving, hit a bump in the road near a construction zone, after that power steering got stiff. The car didn't stall or die out on spot, parked it shortly after (maybe not even a minute), once I parked the car did not want to start back up. Everything gets power, starter clicks, fuel pump engages, checked fuses and relays. Thinking maybe the crank sensor came loose? At work so no time to check it, any ideas as to what I should check?

Thanks in advance guys!

First thing... Gonna sound silly but check your belt(s). P/S going flat, runs, subsequent no-start sounds like the P/S pump and alternator went South but retained just enough battery power to make everything WANT to do their thing but not enough to start.

Crank sensor is a good guess but that wouldn't explain the power steering going haywire. If the sensor is bad, you should be able to pull a code on it.

Thought of that too but didn’t check lol thanks I appreciate it!

Good luck, hope it's as simple as that!
