Uneven Horizontal fender gap
Hello,
Front passenger wheel, front face, measuring horizontally dead center from the center of the wheel cap directly to the rear facing edge of the fender arch, I find that there is a .75" discrepancy between the driver side front wheel and the passenger side front wheel. The passenger side front wheel is pushed to the back of the car .75" basically.
Tie rod is slightly bent. Struts should be replaced. Would they contribute to this problem? Also which other suspension components would cause the wheel to be off center horizontally. The car was hit on a curb.
Just post part names please.

I'm not even going to attempt to be of any help here, but did you hit the curb?

The service manual provides all of the part names you are interested in. Search google for it and grab the suspension section off of rotaryheads.com. Look at the sections for adjusting toe, caster, and camber. They are all adjustable.
