I slid into a curb going 5-10 MPH on a right turn because of icy roads. My front left tire hit the curb and now it’s further back than it should be. What should I do? Which parts might be the issue? Thank you

Hello,

Depending on how much it bent, you might need a few suspension components.
If it is minor, then it is possible that all you will need is an alignment.

The best course of action would be to inspect the vehicle and look for any broken or damaged components. Especially the control arms and possibly the spindle.

Is this vehicle drivable?

If you can take it to an alignment shop for alignment, they will be able to tell you if just an alignment will fix the issue.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
