Exclamation Steering Problem HELP!!

About a week ago i was coming home from work one night and a deer jumped in the middle of the road out of no where, well i swerved and i ran onto a 7 inch high concrete driveway. well it turns out I bent my front driverside rim and when im driving in order for me to go straight i have to turn my steering wheel between the 2 and 3 o'clock position, if my steering wheel is straight my car starts pulling to the left. I looked under the car to see if anything was bent but everything looked normal. I was wondering if you guys had an idea of what it could be? thanks!

you need an alignment. camber, caster and toe are most likely off for that side now along with posible bent tie rod, ball joint, knuckle, etc...

Any idea of how much these parts are going to cost?

I'm in the same boat with you after hitting a curb. I messed up 3 of my z06's and blew out 3 tires though. The steering for me isn't that bad but my steering wheel is in the 10 to 11 oclock position for the wheels to be straight. Hoping for just a bent tie rod and an alignment. Alignments run anywhere from $60 to $80 and tie rod ends are supposed to be under $50 from what I understand. Good luck with yours!

Get the alignment checked and that will tell you if something is bent.
