Default What do you think is bent?

The right front wheel seems pushed back more than the left. Control arm? Knuckle?

things it could be, from likely to unlikely

misplaced bushings, most likely in radius rod
front crossmember
lower or upper control arm
rear crossmember
steering knuckle
frame damage

thats not to say theres not other things wrong, such as being like that will probably blow out the bushings on the lower control arm, but those things are the likely causes.

I hit a curb and pushed mine back. How'd I fix it? Hit another curb on the other side, HOWEVER! If you want your car to run normal try to fix one problem instead of creating a reversing-problem.

By the way, this thread will come in handy when I try to fix mine...if I do.

Get an adjustable traction bar setup: fix that caster and upgrade all-in-one.

the lower control arm and the crossmember/radius rod are probably both damaged.

If you use a high quality aftermarket crossmember, and get a new lower control arm you shoul dbe all set! ALso dont forget to get an alignment

I was noticing that as well. Surely you don't drive like that?
