wheel alignment??

[day]

i hit a kurb today at about 60 mph with my front left wheel. i have already give myself a good slap and am gutted :oops: !

but now the angle the wheel makes with the road is not vertical, more like \ when looked at from the front (toed out at the bottom). the steerings gone lighter and veers very slightly to the left. if i sort out the toe will it drive straight or do i need to get it realligned profesionally?

i will be reading the hayes mmanual for sorting the toe out but any extra tips on how to ajust the toe? thanks

if its sitting like \ when looked at from the front its not toe its camber and that prolly means either a bent bottom arm or bent chassis leg

its not that severe an angle as \ though. thank god. i know what to look for im my hayes manual now. cheers

Itll be a bent wishbone, ?850 from autovaux.
