Bent Wheel

Bent Wheel
My car was recently hit on the driver side inbetween the front fender and te door. On impact the driver side strut snapped and my wheel was bent inwards. The car was towed to my house and i took the wheel off and the broken strut off. My cuzin is a body man, came in took some measurements off the strut tower and everything and said nothing was bent. The inner tie rod was bent, i replaced that and now when i put the wheel on its on a slight tilt. I dont know if its the caster camber or if the spindle is bent, nothing looks off visually but i was hoping some1 would have some ideas.

RE: Bent Wheel
The wheel is probably messed up if it took a hit like that. Swap a wheel from the side that did not get hit onto that side and see if it still looks messed up. If so it is likely not the wheel, but if not, it will narrow it down to the wheel.

RE: Bent Wheel
I just had something kind simular, I messed up a rim by hitting a curb pretty hard, and it Thought that I messed up my strut, which I did on the upper strut mount area where it bolts to the "body" of the car some, but my steering knuckle was tweeked. Pull off your wheel hub/bearings and use a ruler or straight edge against the spindle and se if it is bent, it doesn't take a lot to affect your caster/camber of the wheel
