Default Front end damage - how bad?

My beloved 92 DX 3dr front driver side fender & tire impacted the driver side fender/tire of another car. Kind of an angled sideswipe. While the fender is pretty tore up and the corner light broken, that's an easy fix, what I'm worried about is the suspension as the tire is pushed back enough to be rubbing the back of the wheel well. so does anyone know, is this just bent front end suspension parts that will have to be replaced or will there be frame straightening involved/necessary?

thanks for any help,

BD

you probably cant tell without going to a shop. you could go ahead and replace the front end parts, and then everything will look better. But 2 months down the road, the slightest misalignment of the frame could cause your tires to wear uneven. Id go to a shop.
