Default Easy question...hit a cement pole yesturday now I am having problems driving

Hey guys, yesterday after class I was reversing in the underground parking lot and smacked my front passenger fender against a cement pole.
Now I am replacing my fender this weekend but when I drive straight my steering wheel seems off a bit.
What can I do to correct this??? the frame isn't bent but it has a small dent but not something that would affect the suspension steering.

Thanks

Probally just bumped your alignment out of whack. Go get an alignment done and you'll be fine.

EDIT: They'll also let you know if anything could be bent, because they won't be able to get the alignment right.

If you hit a cement pole, sounds like you were having trouble driving before ;-)
j/k

Take it to sears... if you get an alignment there, and come back every 5 months, you can have free alignments for life!

Thanks guys...I knew its going to be an Alignment but I wanted to be sure so before I went out and blew money on something that wouldn't correct it.

What happened was I got kicked out of my parking spot when I go to school so I parked in an underground parking lot beside a cement pole. When I got back from class I was thinking about if I'm going to go to my next period and I got into my car, turned on the car and started to turn the wheel and reverse.
Next thing I know is I hear BAM and I stop, get out and see my fender mangled.

I had my head up my *** because of school...that will never happen again

You live and learn. If Sears has a lifetime alignment deal going on, I strongly recommend it. 3 alignments in you've paid for it and then some and you can get it done as often as you like.
