    we had this problem when we got my girlfriends.
    had to slacken off the two bolts under the carpet and push the wishbone back out with the portapak (hydraulic ram).
    because of the impact it had pushed the wishbone back and caused the bolt holes to oval out, which as you may have guessed by now is why your wheels sat back!!
    hope this helps.
