Default The pass side front wheel has MOVED back about a good inch, permanent damage or fixable?

Is there a way to allign the wheel if you look at it from a side?

A while ago, during bad weather I flew off a good bank when i understeered off the road, messed up my under-the car plastics and other little stuff

but the biggest problem is my passenger side wheel has moved back (towards the rear of the car) about an inch and the driver side is fine. I'm not sure if i bend anything so bad that it cant be moved back or is there some allignment bolt i can work with to move it back into original position

Allignment is fine runs fine, has been like that for about a year, but its just not in the right place, i can barely fit 2 fingers between the wheel and the back of the fender (by the door), meanwhile my driver side has room for over 3+ fingers

any comments appreciated, i also got an entire CRX parts car, so if i bend any parts in specific what should i replace?

check to make sure you didnt bend your lower control arm and also check to make sure you didnt knock the cross member back. my car did the same thing and all it was, was the cross member got knocked loose on the passenger side.

theres a slight chance you might of bent some of the frame, but i highly doubt it, its probably bent suspension pieces, id get a tierod end, lower contorl arm, radius rod and if you want to be safe a upper contorl arm and knuckle, then be shure to get a alighment
