if toe is in you probably bent a tie rod too. Just look at everything and compare it to the other side.

Sound's to me like you may have damaged it enough that taking it to a shop to be looked over is a good idea, that's what I'd do, even thought I'd really hate to spend the money.

You have a shop with the proper equipment either pull it square or they'll tell you they can't fix it.

This sounds minor enough they should be able to fix it. Of course that's just a guess. Good luck Frank.

could be that the upper control arm has pulled the unibody outwards

I'd say definetly the lower subframe, I'd the same thing except no truck in my way, I was just goofin around with the e-brake on a fri night after it rained - whoops ! I had 7 spoke 17"s didn't bend them at all and had the brakes on so only one spot got curbed but the lower control arm was like an L shape, and of course the sub frame took the rest of the impact .... damn pricey to get that fixed .. I try to do it myself .. good luck wit that :omg:
