Bent suspension?
This is really bothering me now.
My uncle hit a curb when he had the car and the wheel is set back and is tilted. Can a simple alignment fix this or would I need to replace something?
BTW the top is the wheel against the fender and the bottom is angle of steering wheel.
Car pulls to the left and when taking a right turn, feels like the grip of the road sucks compared to taking a left turn. And this is on the Front Driver side

An alignment most likely wil not fix it. He bent something....or multiple things, for example the radius rods, crossmember, LCA, UCA, etc.
You might be able to look under there and see what is bent, but it sounds like you need to take it to a shop.

what do you guys think about that?</TD></TR></TABLE>
Yeah, it's probably not going to be any of those....tie rod ends flex with the wheel in any direction so they most likely won't be bent.
If the wheel is pushed back that means the caster is off, which is held in place by the radius rods and front crossmember. So it's probably those plus the LCA.....but the shop will tell you for sure
