Bad alignment

so i crashed my 8 and left side end up in a ditch, about 3 ft down, i was told by this guy that the alignment of my front wheel was off by 2 degrees, there is no cisible damage, any clue what do i need to get done or replace??? I lost both left side wheels and windshield so if you know anybody selling a windshield let me know :D .

If its bent you will need to have a frame shop straighten it first

It will require a new windshield, you cannot recycle a used one. Try Safelight for a cheap replacement.

You hit a ditch... If your alignment is off, you definitely messed up some steering (and maybe suspension) components. For sure, you'll need a professional to check it out.

Same with the airbag light.
