There was an accident with my car where I was driving and I guess I was going too fast and I turned the wheel to fast and after that I lost control of the car. I didn't hit anything but a plastic pole. But after that I am not really sure what is wrong the car. My steering is really loose if that makes sense and the car drives really wobbly. If the steering wheel is straight there is a possibility that the wheels will not be straight and if I turn the wheel at an angle the wheels will still be straight. I would like to know what exactly is wrong with my car so I can figure out where I need to go to get the car fixed.

This sounds like a possible tire issue or tie rod being bent or loose. I would suggest looking underneath and getting some pictures if you are not sure of the different components attached the front tires or we will have to get someone to look at it. If the tires feel wobbly then an alignment will most likely not fix it. We need to address the issue that is causing that feeling and then perform an alignment.

Let me know if you can get some pictures and we can go from there. Thanks
