I took a turn at about 15-20 mph in the snow and my tires slipped their own way. I ended up in a bank and the 33 inch tire came off the rim, I limped it 200 ft to the air pump at the gas station on the corner and got the tire back on relatively eas, but messed up my alignment,

So it comes with a question. Should I just adjust the tie rod or could there be more damage, is it possible to bend the beam?
 
quite possible to bend the beam

some fixes in this thread.you should be able to see if it's bent just looking at it.tie rods bend pretty easy too.also,check the steering box....if it's suddenly off center it may have a twisted sector shaft.i had this happen before and it broke some time later....not nice.

Looks like I damaged the front right spring. It was right at the intersection by the exxon on 66 and 139 tryin to pull in to food city. My left wheel well clearance is 3+ inches with the 33's my right is almost 2 now. I have replacement springs but whatta bitch.
