Default major prob. with suspension..

ok. so i got into this little fender bender back in the end of april and i just let my car sit for awhile untill now. today, i replaced a wheel that was damaged and replaced some body parts. i tried driving it and it pulled to the left automatically!? so i got out of the car and looked at the drivers side wheel and saw that it is noticebly misaligned. i set the steering wheel straight and looked again. the passenger side is perfect, but the driver side is horrible. it loks like this \\-----|| if you are looking from atop of the car. do i just need an alignment or is this something more serious?

Get an alignment. At the alignment place they will tell you whether or not your tie rod(s) is/are messed up, which they might be. Either way the tie rod being incorrectly set is causing this.

This really isn't a 'major problem'. Major problem would be ball joint failing at 85 MPH You can correct this for under $100.
