Q: Tires in front lean

asked by on June 24, 2016

Okay so I recently wreck the truck not bad but hit something when I swerved off the road n it bent the frame knocked the passenger tire out of alignment and so I took it too the shop well the frame that's bent is what's under the motor and just like a dent in it well the shop told me that all they could do is crank my torsion bars back down and align it well I look at my truck now and the tires lean in and the shop says it's all they could do for it, would replacing upper and lower ballsjoints on both passenger and driver side and doing the control arms, tie rods, etc basically rebuilding the front end would that help my case or should I have another shop look at it first?
