Default driverside wheel pushed back from accident

Wats up HT im having a lil problem putting my EK back together. I had a lil accident and it messed up the front left side of my car. So I was putting the car back together and I noticed the driver side wheel was pushed back and the inner tie rod was bent. I replaced it but the wheel is still pushed back. Everything looks straight to me the other wheel is straight. I have the car on jackstands with the wheels off and steering wheel straight. Passenger wheel is straight but the driver side wheel is turned to the left a lil. When I drove it the car pulled really hard to the left when I let the wheel go. I was wondering if any of you guys have any opinions on this. Thanx all.

If one wheel is turned out, while the other is straight, then either your tie rods/ends are installed wrong, your tie rods/ends are damaged, or your steering rack is damaged.
