Get it fixed. Impossible to say what needs to be replaced.
Looks like you mean the wheel. If it is bent, have it replaced.
Could be tie rods or control arm, look for shiny metal parts on your car. When metal bends it gets shiny.
You need a REAL mechanic to inspect the vehicle. I don't know what you have done so far, but no LEGITIMATE mechanic will even pick up a tool without first conducting a THOROUGH inspection to determine IF the vehicle is reparable and EVERYTHING that need done to repair it.
Wheel alignment shop. These guys KNOW THE UNDERSIDE OF THE CAR BETTER THAN YOU KNOW THE BACK OF YOUR HAND. As this is all they ever see.
If you did the repair, you missed something major.
I can't see it so I can't fix it.
Give it to a mechanic that can actually touch the car.
If the car accident is fresh, tell your insurance and they will take care of the rest. >If you damaged yourself, then you will have to pay for the repairs yourself, so no need to inform insurance.< as you would be filing a claim against you… To pay you with your money.(that is self defeating)
None of insurance's business. They will do nothing for you.
A mechanic looking at the car on a lift will give you a proper diagnosis and course of repair.
Have a steering/suspension expert INSPECT your car. Something is bent or torn and must be dealt with before an alignment. Why the strut replacer didn't check is rather bad!

That is because something is bent like a spambot.
- Punctured tire replacement - can I replace only 1 tire - is it safe to replace the PUNCTURED tire only? My 2005 Honda Pilot rear left tire was punctured near the threshhold (ie - sidewall), but still usable. Thus the tire dealer patched it only. Should I replace that punctured tire only? Or should I replace the 2 tires on the same axle? Or even buy a whole set of 4 tires? I'm concerned about safety, and thus your best advice is very appreciated.
- I got a new car as a Christmas gift but I don't like it. How can I exchange it? I got a Honda Pilot but I wanted a Honda CR-V. I don't need a 3rd row seat and gas mileage isn't that great. So how many days do I have to exchange it without penalty? I heard 3 days.
- Bought a 1985 Honda inspector kid told me it needed new battery but started with jump got new battery and it was dead next day? Pretty sure its the alternator just wanted some second opinions also I got the bike for 600 dollars you guys think thats a good deal
- Got a car, no life and wanna drive away to somewhere new and start a new life but how? I'm older, my parents are getting elderly. My sibling is in rehab and my family onlycares about him. I have no friends, no kids and i'm tired of living in my state for 35 years. Seeing the same ppl, same buildings, ugh. I just bought a new honda and honestly i just wanna get in my car and go. I have no money tho and only have a associate degree. What should i do? Apply to a college out of state? Just leave?
