Hello and welcome to JustAnswer, my name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* I have over 21 years of experience in this field. I'm so sorry for your inconvenience and hopefully, I can help. Most likely the light came on because the alignment is off and possibly that side wheel speed sensor got damaged. As for the bend, it would need to be checked, it can be your tie rods, control arms, spindle or shocks that have been damage. But, it can be fixed so Good luck to you.

thankyou danny, will it be expensive

It all depends if you need everything, which depends on how hard the hit was. Most of the times if it wasn't that hard of a hit, you would not need all of those parts I mention. Could run you around $1000, but it needs to be checked, that's just an estimate.

Thankyou Danny and God bless you. Merry Xmas.
