You need to have the suspension components checked to make sure you haven't bent the wishbones, control arms, etc. If any of these parts are damaged, they need to be replaced.

In my 3rd gen I had a similar issue. I slid on a dirt patch and to avoid hitting a car I was forced to hit a curb with my drivers side tire. The tire was pushed back until it was about a 1/4 inch from the back of the wheel well. I took it to Big O tire, they told me 800+ min to fix it. I almost shit myself. So I took it to Les Schwab for a second opinion. They told me 250 dollars, and even took me out and showed me what was bent and/or broken. Ended up there was a couple broken bolts, and one part that needed replaced because it was bent (control arm I believe). After allignment and everything, I think I was out the door for around 300. I would definatly get it to a shop so you dont cause any axel damage from things being out-a whack, tire damage, etc etc... I would get a second opinion as well.

Hope that helps!

Sounds like your front frame is bent. You might want to look into getting a front clip, or find one with a blown motor to swap your stuff over too.
