Default out of alignment?

i was in a small accident that caused me to go off road last night and now my car vibrates at +35mph anyone know if this could just be my alignment out of wack? by the way the steering wheel is turned to the right a bit, i can let go of it and the car still drives straight but it doesn't sit like it's supposed to, it looks like i'm turning to the right when i'm going straight. any help would be appreciated

Sounds like the alignment and balance are both off. The cocked wheel is an indicator of an alignment issue. The tie-rods may have skipped some teeth or something might be bent. The vibration is a balance issue. When you get the balance, get a road-force balance. It'll also tell you if the wheel/tire is out-of-round or if the rim is bent/out-of-round or if there is a defect in the tire.
