do i need an alignment? had an accident before...

well i got into accident last feb. i hit my front driver side.. and yesterday i got a flat tire so i took off the tire and i saw the inner part (the one close to my suspension) and the rubber was really off. so i took to les schwab but the tire technician said he cant fix it anymore coz of the liability due the tread wear on the other side of tire if way off. now i got a new pair of front tire(fuzion zr)
so my question do i need to get an alignment? maybe i got some alignment issue because of the accident... THANX IN ADVANCE!!!

If you havent had an alignment since you crashed the car, you should have had one done.... actually insurance should have paid for the body shop to do one as part of the damage assessment. Now that you've been driving it around, YES you should get it checked and you should also get it checked for damage to the control arms and such.
