Default Steering problems.

Driving home from work last night in the snow. I hit a curb and my steering is all out of place, I took the wheel off and there is no visible damage. Does anyone hadn't an idea what could be broken? My steering wheel has to be turned completely vertical for me to drive straight and the car pulls from left to right. Any help is appreciated, thank you.

Something is bent. Tie rod, knuckle, etc. An alignment shop should be able to diagnose.

Inner tie rod may be bent. If it is shuffling from left to right, more than likely the wheel is bent. Check the ball joints, if the impact was severe enough they may have been loosened and are now allowing the upright to move about.
