**Please Help**

...about a year ago a got into a small accident which my (drivers side) front fender area to all the impact. Ever since that I felt my suspension was wierd. I tried do donuts a few months later (in a empty parking lot) and it felt like I was riding a horse its kind of hard to explain, but while im doing the donut it feels like its rocking. Ohh, and before the accident my car use to grip pretty good and would oversteer instead of understeer. Now(after the accident) its the complete opposite! I know something(s) f***ed up, but what can it be (possibilities)?

Go to an alignment shop

try and have it aligned, they should be able to tell you how much its off now.

My car has been in a accident in the past, front driver side like yours, and for some reason to get it to align right, they have to put 3 times the amount of shims on the passenger side now. Also on the drivers side in the engine bay, where the shock tower meets the frame rail, there is a small bulge where the impact sorta knocked it toward the other side. Bout an 1/8th of an inch.
