My front right tire was slightly bent it. I don't know what it could be. I never had any problems outta it at all till today. No shaking or anything it just happened can you please help me with this issue.

Hi MrPettis,

Thank you for the donation.

From the description, it seems either the upper or lower control arm ball joint have given way. You should not attempt to drive vehicle in this condition. It can cause a lot of damages.

Look under vehicle and note if the right side lower control arm and knuckle has separated.
