Need help ASAP. Wheel alignment problem
So last night I hit a big *** mound of dirt on my pass side and completely screwed up my wheel alignment. The drivers side wheel points straight ahead and the passenger side is pointing outwards. I didn't really know what I was doing but I got down there and tightened the outer tie rod and it didn't help at all. I really need to get this fixed quick. I was suppose to be at work at 11am and had to call in and I'm suppose to work tomorrow as well so I gotta get this thing drivable.
Don't know if this will help but it looks like this | / (view from top) lol
I really don't know what to do to fix it but I've got to get it at least drivable to get to work tomorrow.

Re: Need help ASAP. Wheel alignment problem
you bent something.
all you can do is adjust the tie rod on the side to make both wheels more straight for now, but you will have to fix whatever you bent. Depending on the condition of the tie rods, you may not be able to loosen the adjuster sleeve, and have to replace everything to get the car road worthy.

Yeah I can't find anything bent and I've tightened the pass side tie rod all the way and it's still all messed up. I've got a 91rs parts car I can pull from but I just have no idea what the problem is.
