    front end damage from accident
    20200203_071004.jpg 20200203_071032.jpg I damaged my drivers side front wheel and broke the tie rod end on my 2004 Toyota Tundra and now the wheel has been pushed back with
    evidence
    of the caster and camber adjustment bolts and lower control arm not centered.Can I remove and recenter lower control arm enough to bring the tire towards front of vehicle and stop rubbing along with alignment back to factory specs or is this just a lost cause? I am hoping to just replace tie rod and repair this myself with the exception of taking to alignment shop in hopes wheel is not rubbing anymore...please any advice help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you

    You can throw parts at it and let the alignment shop confirm when you’ve replaced everything that was bent. Might get away with a tie rod and lower control arm. If the shop then says it also needs a knuckle maybe let them finish it.
