Default Slid into a curb

About 2 inches of snow and I hit on the right front wheel. I bent the wheel back with mad positve camber. My steering wheel is cranked to the left..What could be bent?

tie rod. upper or lower controlarm. possibly radius rod. Any of those, possibly more then 1.

Pull the tire and find the bend hunk of metal. fix then bring to alignment shop, 4-wheel alignment.

oh the joys of winter

Thanks for the quick reply. Maybe I should sell my teg and get a beater truck until winter passes. Oh well **** happens, everyday.

"Mad positive camber" = bent LCA.

"Cranked to the left" = first off, do both wheels point in the same direction at any time? If not, you have a bent tie rod.
