Default Wreck

Was in a wreck last night. Have to replace my fender headlight going and bumper. When I'm driving it if I pull the wheel to the left it wants to go far and same if I turn right. Any ideas what this would be? Tie rod bent or stretched? Have been able to get under it yet.. Oh and the steering wheel isn't where it normally is. It's turned sideways

Did the wheel take a hit? How hard was the impact? Best case is a bent tie rod or steering pitman arm, worst case is bent suspension components or frame. You gotta get under it and look for what is no longer normal.

What, no pictures? Must have pictures when it's a wreck.

I had to change the steering box after my wreck.
