HELP!!!
Some idiot just hit my 99 Jep Xj while it was parked. My rear left tire looks like it is at an angle. I noticed that the rear left spring is bent too. Is this what is causing the tire to look bent

Is the axle on the spring in the correct place. Might have just broken the center bolt. Pretty tough to bend a spring. They are made to do that

You have to bend a leaf spring pretty far to make the metal loose its memory. If that is the case, it was hit hard

What did the other vehicle look like? And what was it? If they did in fact bend a leafaspring, it got hammered HARD. Post some pics. Good chance you have a bent axle shaft as well, where the shaft meets the flange by the wheel. Because the leafspring is bent, take it to a frameshop. Good chance the framerails/unibody is tweaked, among other things that you may not be aware of.
