*** You must drive your car as little as possible on your way to a repair shop.*** Unless you get one of the heavy hitters from this site to check your stuff out and help you fix it, you'll likely be putting yourself and others in danger until you do so.

It sounds like you loosened up your steering setup when you crashed. Since you haven't mentioned any lack of steering response, it sounds like the problem is closer to the wheel. It's not likely a bent arm, as you would experience pull when driving "straight". I'd start from the wheel inward.. Making sure the rotor and wheel are on tight, checking the hub/knuckle assembly for a proper seating, checking the suspension arms for damage, and checking the steering link and column for damage.

I'm pretty sure your Front Right wheel is loose. When you turn left, it puts the bulk of the suspension load on that tire. A loose wheel will tend to pull more when turned, and wobble when "straight", giving you some of the symptoms you describe.

Again, I strongly suggest you get your car checked out and drive as little as possible until it's fixed. But I'm a paranoid freak...

Have a safe drive,

sounds like a bad bushing, jack up the front end and check them all out.
