Toyota CAMRY 1992 2.2L
i avoided hitting this car that went to my lane so then I hit the curb and cracked my front bumper. I also hit/scratched my rims on the curb. Now When i'm driving the car, I have to steer it a little to the right to go straight. So the steering is not straight anymore... Can anyone help?

Um, I think your car needs an alignment. If the wheel/tire hits the curb, you need an alignment. Most likely, could be something else, but if you hit the curb, you just f'ed the alignment

You likely bent something in the suspension. Ironically, I was just working on my friends car today who did the same thing. You should have a mechanic check to see. Yuo can't get an alignment with a bent suspension part.

Well i hit the curb and all i needed was an alignment that is why i said that.
But you are right, now that I think of it, it could be the suspension.
