Car pulls hard left,alignment shop says its a bent spindle, is it really bent?

[Mugen13]

I went off the road bent my inner tie rod, my LCA and so i replaced those and the ball joint, but now my car pulls HARD to the left.

I took it to a alignment shop and they said its b/c my spindle is bent, but they said you can't tell visually from looking that its bent.

Are they telling the truth? Is there something else that could be causing the car to pull?

bad toe. when you replaced the inner tie rod, did you replace the outer rod as well? to only damage the inner one is odd. Also, did you bend the wheel? I see it highly unlikely to bend a knuckle without bending the wheel.

First thing I would do is check ALL suspension components that weren't replaced. Strut, TC rod, and outer tie rod. Second, make sure that the tie rods were reinstalled correctly.

If all those components check out and were reinstalled correctly, it's a possibility the knuckle was bent. The main area to check is where the tie rod connects to the knuckle and make sure that arm is not bent. If it is, get a replacement from a junk yard.

i did not replace the outer tie rod. it looked fine to me like the boot was fine and it didn't look bent or anything. I'm not sure if i bent the wheel, but i did unmount the tire and messed up the lip that hold the tire.

The TC rod was fine and like i said the outer tie rod looked fine. The part which the outer tie rod connects to the knuckle didnt look bent.

I'll go back tom. and mess w/ the tie rods to see if i can fix the pulling.
