Suspension problem Two Wheel Drive Automatic 183,00 miles

I have a 1980 Mercedes 300SD. I had a flat recently, which was replaced. Since then the two front wheels are skidding when I hit a bump and also the wheels are flaring or bending outward. Do I need new shocks? Whats up?

Was that the vehicle towed when you got the flat? if they pic it up from the front they probably been to tie rod ends, take it to your local tire store and have them check the alignment.
