Why is my wheel still bent a lot?

I hit something and it cause me to change low control arm, tie roll on Steering Rack, and strut on shock.

However, it's still bent a lot.

Which one parts do I miss and check next?



Is it possible to modify it normally with only alignment?

Don't even waste time replacing any more parts until a competent shop has checked your car chassis for damage. It is very possible that the front subframe sustained damage from a hard impact. In many cases it can be repaired by a really good collision repair shop that is set up to make frame repairs/straightening, or it may have to be taken to a frame specialist, although in severe cases the chassis is compromised because the sheetmetal floor is weakened.

Wheel alignment does not make up for a bent subframe or other chassis damage.
