Icon6 HAD AN ACCIDENT..DONT KNOW WHATS WRONG

So i was in a small accident... the impact was all on the left tire that hit the wall and some of that left fender.. i replaced the tie rods which was shot.. at the time i had the steel tires so the steel got pressed against the caliper.. basically when it hit the wall.. the whole left tire got pressed in.. now the wheel is not centered.. it hits the inside wall next to the driver door.. is it caused by the axle being messed up?wut should i look for if it is?maybe the bearings.. rotors..control arm..bbut it all looks fine to me expect for the tie rod which i replaced.. or what could it be?? suggestions please..thank you

Your caster is ****ed up because you bent something. If nothing looks visibly bent then chances are it's the frame. If you hit anything hard enough to damage a wheel then something else had to absorb that impact as well.

subframe, upper control arm, lower control arm could be bent, hard to say without pics. take off your wheels and look around.
