Bent tie rod

Thanks for replying. Before impact steering was normal. After impact, steering wheel is oscillating/shaking. Car is pulling to the right, and feels unstable at speed, especially dangerous at 50+ mph. (Edit) - steering wheel is now slightly off center, too.

Is it possible a tie rod could be bent in a slow speed (20 MPH) collision with a soft covered but firm object (a rubber covered barrier, for example), but with no damage to the wheel and tire? The steering was turned hard all the way to the right, and the right front tire hit squarely on the front tire tread surface only. The car was moving forward.

Thanks

Thanks. A friend + my neighbor, both know a lot about cars, looked at it after I took the wheel off, and both told me the tie rod is bent. It looks bent to me as well. I talked to a local shop on the phone, and they insist (without seeing the car) if the tie rod is bent then the wheel is bent and the tire damaged if the tie rod is bent. I don't see any damage to the wheel or tire.

Thank you.
