    My truck was involved in an accident to the drivers side. Now my left front wheel isn't straight. Whenever I turn, it the tire scrapes my fender under liner. It isn't in the middle of where it should be. Also the wheel stand slanted inside. What should I buy to fix this problem?

    alignment?

    you should probably take it to a shop and have them put it up on an alignment rack. have them check out your steering rack and tie rod ends while they are at it.

    Like what Chris said....

    Did you have it at a shop?

    Do you have any pictures of the damage immediately after the accident?

    What you describe could be tons of things...we need more info and more pictures.

    +1 for a shop- They can check alignment, make sure your rims are still in round, and make sure all the bits and pieces are working properly/set correctly
