Suspension pushed back....control arm, aframe, what?

Hello this is my first post on these forums, so I'm not sure if this is posted on the right section. Anyways I have a 1994 Honda Prelude S with the F22A. A few years back I ran off the road and hit a ditch which pushed my driver side suspension or bent my control arms, someone said maybe the a frame but they didn't even look at it. I figured I would see what you guys think about how to fix this. If you guys have any ideas please share them with me. Below is a picture of the car and you can tell the wheel is pushed back 1/2 inch or more.
Thanks,
Mike

you would have to take it to a machine shop to see if it was bent.

but since you've been driving around on it for a few years and you didn't notice any uneven tire wear or weirdness, you might be ok.

I would fix suspension issues ASAP. A bent suspension can start to damage other things, like tires and your wheel bearing. We can't diagnose suspension damage over the internet; you need a repair shop to do laser alignment checks.

First thing I would check is the radius rod. See if it's been pulled back from the cross beam.
