I have a four-wheeler but it is kind of the same as a car, I mean the problem I feel would be the same. so I got hit by a truck and it bent up my rim so I replaced the rim and tires and the front left tire (standing in front of it) is bent upwards like the brakes and the tire and everything. I looked for a hour or more and the frame is good and tie rod but the joint where the rube caps are at there are three of them in different places are pushed back and down for the bottom to and the top that is connected to tie rod is pushing forward. it is not wobbly just making my tire the top of it go in towards the four-wheeler and the bottom push out away from it. I do not know what it is that is making it do that. The tie rods and the frame are not bent or anything I am wondering if I need to replace the ball joints, but i do not know. it is a Suzuki Kingquad 400 ASI.

Would need to see pictures, but I would suspect you have bent the upper A-arms or the mounts for them.
