Default Wierd problem with my XJ's steering..

Sup guy's, i got an issue with my 96 xj , it pulls to the right as i drive so i have to tilt the steering wheel to the left to make the car go straight, my friend told me this could be due to the car needing an alignment done, but i also noticed that when i tilt the steering wheel alll the way to the left it makes a sort of clicking/thumping noise, i checked the carfax on the car and it says it had been in an accident and i could see on the left side front fender theres a dent above the wheel-well and a bad body filler job trying to cover that dent up, my question is could it all be connected? or 2 different problems?

Well somethings probably bent or out of alignment...

The clunking could be alot of things though. Check all the joints and buchings for slack and also make sure that the fender isnt bent so far that it rubs the tire.

Definately get an alignment!
