Default Wheel not straight

I hit a curb and now my driver side wheel is pointing outward while the passenger wheel is straight.

Update below:

I changed both inner and outer tie rod ends and now the wheels are straight but I am now getting a clunking noise only when I turn left ?

Wheel alignment time. If you're lucky you just shifted the upper control arm adjustment bolts and didn't damage any steering components. If not you'll have to replace some parts too.

Ditto to what El Beautor said. I don't know about today, but used to bring a vehicle in to get an alignment for the sole purpose of finding out what the problem was and was never charged for the diagnosis. This was when my repair experience was much less than today and I had no idea what most parts were called, let alone what they did.
