Tie rods again & wheel/steering wheel alignment

[92SC2]

Last week I tagged a curb with the right front tire on my 95 SL2. It steered a bit different afterward and I rightly figured that I'd gooned something up. A shop said the left lower ball joint was worn slap out and that I the LF inner tie rod was bent.

I replaced both lower control arms and the left inner tie rod. Now the old one did not *look* bent at all, and it was otherwise good, but it's been replaced as of Saturday afternoon. I haven't gotten the car back in for an alignment, but I have noticed a couple things.

1. There is noticeably less death wobble now
2. The alignment is still off I think, though it tracks pretty true
3. The steering wheel is now canted to the right. I counted 17 threads on the old tie rod from start to the jamb nut, I adjusted the tie rod end and jamb nut the same number of threads on the new inner tie rod.

Is it possible that the RIGHT front tie rod is hosed up? I can replace it myself but don't want to do it "just because". I'm not paying a shop $254 to do it if it needs to be done. Also why is the wheel now canted now? I didn't line the new and old tie rods up, but there did not appear to be any significant difference in the length of of threads between them.

I forgot to mention, in a sweeping left hand entrance ramp this morning, it really wanted to oversteer.

Get the car aligned--sooner rather than later, and the problem will be gone.

Headed in tonight on the way home from work. I just wanted to make sure that it wasn't something else going on. I find it odd that the left tie rod bent when I hit the right wheel on the curb.
