Default Civic EX Special Edition Automatic Trans

I hit the side of my my tire up against a guard rail. After replacing the Stabilizer bar, Strut, lower arm and ball joint the tire is still bent a bit from the top down. Anyone have any idea what else it would be?

positive camber, if it isn't too bad, an alignment should be able to fix it. If it's excessive despite all the parts youve replaced, you could have a bent knuckle, damaged strut mount, or both. If it's even worse than that, youre looking at potential sub frame or strut tower damage.
