bent tierod and Fvcked wheel

so heres the story. to come home from work i have to drive up a really twisty blind curvy road. oh said road there is another road that turns off right after a blind curve. so i was going home at 5pm i was going 35 (the speedlimit) because the road is insane and chances are if you speed you will wreck. so i go around this curve and some fvcking white nissan is parked crossways in my lane. it had just entered my road from the other road and was trying to turn around. so i slam on the brakes and do everything i can not to hit this motherb1tch. i avoided T boning it but barely. i had to put my passenger tire off the road and turn up the road that the nissan had just came from. ok. so. the road has a low shoulder and now it sounds like im doing burnouts everytime i go around a curve. the entire rim of my wheel is scratched to all hell. and when i am going straight my steering wheel is crooked. it is turned like you would turn it to go around the McDonalds Drive through. so. does that sound like bent tierod? and how much will it cost to get fixed.

cliff notes: Forget trying to dodge cars just plow into them.

One things for sure, the alignment of your car is now completely shot. The only way to find out if your arm or any other bar is bent is by taking it to an alignment shop. They can have all four of your wheels connected to the sensors to detect how much off your alignment is... if your arm is bent, they wont be able to align it back to stock spec, and will need to be replaced.

Cost wise... your looking into 150 to 300 to replace the arm... another $100 or so for the alignment.
