Default hit curb

Well, I hit a curb with my front passenger wheel when I was making a left turn. I trashed the tire and rim (installed new rim and tire)and now the vehicle pulls to the right and at slow speed I can feel it pull right at the same spot with each wheel revolution. I am guessing something is bent. I have reasonable mechanical skills but only outside work space. I live in canada, its winter and I do not want to get into a big project outside. I need to fix my wifes car this week and would like to avoid the mechanic for now. thanks
Car is 09 accent 4dr auto. Until this bonehead move I was really satisfied with the car.

You have probably a bend Tie Rod end. Or something like that... After the repair you will need a full alignment so it this case it should be better to bring it to a mechanic.

Regards,
