i have a 1996 explorer, fwd. a friend of mine hit a curb with it after i let him borrow it. it was the front driver's side that he hit, and now the wheel is bent inwards... i took the tire off to find out that the outer tie rod popped off its joint, and the inner tie rod was bent... i have had those replaced but something else seems to be wrong with it that i cant diagnose. the wheel is still leaning inwards and i am not sure what was wrong with it... some mechanic told me it had something to do with the control arm...

anyone with some advice??? my ears are open...
i can also show pics

The toe is probably out.. Put it on a rack and check the alignment. Without out pics it would be hard to really figure out what is out of wack.
 






just give me a sec, and i'll figure out how to send u the pics
 






these are the pics... the truck have been parked for a while now because i cant go faster than 15 mph

Your toe is still out.. Take it to a alignment shop or turn the tie rod in more until the wheels are more straight.
