Default HELP pulling to the right!!!!97 ek

yeah so it snowed pretty hardcore last week and i was going around a turn at like 5mph and my car skid into a curb, totally bent my rt ft steelie, went to the boneyard and got a new one for 20 bux and threw my tire on it, now it pulls to the right a tad when i drive....its not that drastic but its enough for me to get annoyed by it....any ideas what it could be or what i need to replace???your help is greatly appreciated.

pull off the wheel and look for the obvious-bent tir rod,bent spindle,etc...maybe take it to an alignment shop,see if it'll go back in spec.

also if you put a new tire on, and the rest aren't great it may pull alittle.

hitting a curb or a pot hole can throw off ur alignment. A bent rim or an unbalanced tire can do that too. but definitely take the other guys advice and see if anything is bent, and get a new alignment for sure.
