Hitch broken basket to front of car (7)
I believe the answer is:
setback
'hitch' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'broken basket to front of car' is the wordplay.
'broken' is an anagram indicator.
'to front of car' becomes 'C' (first letter of 'car').
'basket'+'c'='basketc'
'basketc' anagrammed gives 'SETBACK'.
(Other definitions for setback that I've seen before include "Reversal of fortune" , "Snag" , "Hitch" , "Reverse" , "Check" .)
