05 evo rs need help.

Ok so two weeks ago someone ran me off the road and into a curb. It broke my wheel so I took it off and started looking deeper for damage knowing if it broke the wheel there was going to be somethkng more. So started looking and realized that the passenger lower control arm and end link was bent. Went about getting parts and replacing that. Now got all that hooked up and reinstalled the tire to do measurements with the other side. Fixed the **** of the tire about 85% but turning to the right there is about an inch difference on sides and it rubs slightly. Took everything off and continued to look for damage. The crossmember (subframe) appears to be in tac with no tweaks in the metal. Same thing with the knuckle? Could either of these look good and still be off ever so slightly? Any and all help is appreciated. Come to a hauls in progress until I can figure out what else is tweaked.

Did you check the power steering rack?

Try measuring each piece individually and compare to the other side.

Worst case the body is bent, the strut tower, attachment points for the front cross member.

Knuckles do bend.

Inner tie rods bend.

Steering Racks shift.

Hubs bend.

I got tapped by a just under the limit not drunk driver. Result was inner tie rod and LCA replaced.
