   Not very constructive mate lol.
   
   It could be anything that's wrong with it. We can't really speculate, best idea is to get it up on a ramp and take a look yourself.

   wishbone for the wheel maybe depends if you bent anything else gears look at all the linkages and see if exhaust is bent at all aswell

   Probably looking at track rod ends as the main damage to the wheel. Possibly wishbone, it completely depends.

   control arm wishbone assembly...
   
   easy fix
   
   3 bolts iirc... you can do it yourself...
   
   two bolts are under the carpet...
   
   
   
   
   did it to mine...
   
   change this and it should bring your wheel back in line...
   try this first

   I wouldn't risk driving it mate, Sounds like the wishbone has been damaged + other things damaged

    unlucky mate yeah if youve knocked the wheel back pulling on the driveshafts you could have done damage to the gear box mate
