i ran over something on the freeway driving my 02 accord se and it hit my lower left front bumper, cracked my rim, took off two of my splash guards and made my airbags go off. now there is an uneven clearance around the left wheel and it turns to the left pretty bad. and also i have to have my steering wheel tilted to the right in order to go straight on the road. ive checked the suspension and nothing seems to be bent..any help?

have the geometry on the front wheels checked at your local tire fitters , Sounds like you have a twisted n/s lower Radius arm or bushes damaged.

You need a wheel alignment. That's where they check and correct the camber, caster, and toe/in of your front wheels. Make sure they center the steering wheel; as that is part of the job. Make sure to do this right away, because a bad wheel alignment can really chew up your tires in short order.
