Need my wheels aligned?

[sanaxe1]

Hey, so i went to the Peak District in my e90 M Sport yesterday and hit a pot hole while pulling into the pub. I now have the following.

Steering pulling to the left.
Steering wheel not centered.
Steering feels lighter / weird
The Gap between the tyre and the arch is 2cm bigger on the left than the right hand side. ( Don't know if its always been like this )

Does this sound like it just needs the wheel alignment done or could it be something else like the suspension?

Might be. Sounds more like a bent strut.

Sounds like you've probably bent something, better to identify the damaged part and replace it than try to mask the problem with an alignment
