So I was off on a trail Sat and I was paying attention to a bolder on my left and I hit an even bigger one on my right hand side. I hit it on the passenger side bottom under part of the bumper. So Iam sure my tire hit the rock pretty hard also. So I checked everything out. The bumper was a little dented in but I cam pop it out once I get the chance. The only thing I noticed was no when I keep my wheel perfectly straight my car actually turns to the right now. Could this be the alignment or something more serious? How can I find out what is wrong? Thanks in advance for any advice.

well just be thankful it was your bumper and not your rocker panels

definitely killed the alignment, now whether it just loosened things up or bent pieces - you'll have to look and/or get the alignmment shop to check.

I did something similar last summer. Messed up my alignment moderately. Had new tires put on at Sears and it showed up in the measurements. The got it straightened out and it rides like a Cadillac on the highways now.
