Understood,now if the ailment were to get moved what does that indicate? Did it mean something got automatically bent ?
If alignment is off - camber, caster, toe - you likely have bent parts. Toe could be as simple as a bent inner or outer tie rod. Camber could be a bolt moved where the spindle and strut meet (if you slotted strut holes to make alignment easier on a lowered car), maybe bent spindle or strut. The point is the measurement of what is out and how much it is out just points in the direction of where to look and check parts.
Another thing you can do for free is jack up the front (one side at a time) and try wiggling things. Worn or damaged parts could move in ways they shouldn't. A worn out tie rod or ball joint could give the same pulling sensation.
Oct of 24 I got hit in my truck by a Subaru while turning left off a main road onto a side road. He came forward past the stop zone as I cut the corner a little bit.
I had a bent lower control arm, spindle and inner tie rod in addition to wheel and body damage. I was doing 10-20 mph turning, he was almost stopped.
My point - a bunch of different things can happen in a simple collision. Have things checked. Don't try to be smarter than the shop or alignment technician. Get it checked, get the numbers and then investigate what is out (if anything). Obviously my bent inner tie rod was pretty easy to see. Some issues are not that simple. With the wheel off on my truck I couldn't see that the spindle upper ball joint was touching the tire, but when compared to a used replacement spindle, it was obvious.
Don't over think it. Get two tires the same size on the front. If still pulling, get the alignment checked. Then go from there. Don't dive down the rabbit hole without good information. Right now, we don't have good information.
