steering wheel shifted after skidding on snow

hello Maxima Gurus ,
sorry for the interruption, how F#$King idiot I am! my maxima's skid towards the right hitting the curb. as soon as I recovered control of the car i noticed my steering wheel shifted a bit to the left. please advice if this is a matter of alignment problem or anything serious. man! i thought I had the whole right panel of my car dented but thanks to God there was no visible damage at all to the car except that steering wheel shifting.
Thank you very much for your time.
Happy New Year to all Maxima Gurus . ........... Luke

ahh? Question did your steering wheel colum shifted to the left, or you got to hold your steering wheel little bit left. If you got to hold it to the left then you prolly thru off your alightment in the best case, or damaged your tie rods or something more serious.

I did the same thing on my other car but my whole back was shifter over good 3-4 inches to the left. And had to drive home sideways, with the steering wheel turned half way to the left, lol. So don't feel bad, cost me $800 in junkyard parts but my damage was alot worse then yours I assume

Lift up your front end check if anything is bent, and check for the play in tie rods. Also check the back visually
