Default Alignment.. or worse?

soooo my girl was parking the '07 in front of her house and hit the curb.. pretty hard.. popped the tire and all... well we got a new tire and noticed that when going straight the steering wheel is turned a quarter to the left.. she said she took it somewhere for a free alignment check and said its off.... of course it is.. but is that it?.. im thinking maybe a bent tie rod???

Hard to say. I whacked a curb and did the same thing to the steering wheel, no tire pop tho, but all I needed was toe adjustment thankfully, as this was the 2nd day I had the car, lol. I learned its power quickly I might add.

The tie rod is mostly the cause of the pulling on one side.
It doesn't take much to stretch it.
