Front passenger side tire is messed up.

I hit a curb a few nights ago, because it was way too foggy and I couldn't see. I probably was going 15 to 20 mph when I hit it. It drove fine after that, and it's been driving fine, up until tonight. I was turning to park, and I heard a pop noise. Then my car didn't really want to move. I got out and looked at my tire, the front passenger one is turned right a few degrees, while the driver's side one is straight.

Did i break something? How much will it cost to fix, and can I do it myself?

Also, my key doesnt like to work on the driver's side anymore.

And the locks no longer work in unison.

Sounds like the tie rod.

Jack up the entire front end and compare both sides.

I know that if i jack it up, i'll be able to get a better look at the problem, but it's very dark out. That's why I was wondering if anybody knew exactly what the problem was.

That would be my guess as well then.

I fixed it. The tie rod end wasn't connected to the tire. It slipped out while driving. I bought a new one for 30 bucks, and fixed it.
