Default off camber wheels?

dont know if thats what youd call it but this is for a buddy of mine

his xj has a 4.5 rough country lift and this chick from school thought she was cool and knew had to drive on ice and snow when we were all screwing around and she came at like 40 in her ford exploder and hit my buddys xj on the drivers side

blew his bead and totalled his fender and cracked his grill but destroyed her explorer

so he got a new rim and then got new track bar and steering stabilizer and track bar sleeve and just all that stuff up front under there (sorry im not sure what everything is called with the steering)
but now his wheels up front sit at a nasty angle like the top of the tire sticks out and the bottom is bowed inwards

what causes this and how do we fix it??

It's hard to say without pics. The axle housing could be bent, the knuckle could be bent, it could be the hub-bearing, it's just hard to say. Does the tire/wheel wobble when the Jeep rolls forward?

sorry no pics since it is not my jeep but we put my rims and tires on his jeep and its just as bad and his wheels on my jeep do it too so we found that one of his rims is bent pretty good and his knuckle on the driver side has a good bend in it as well

thanks!
