Steering Wheels Turned Left

Hey I got an 89 gtu, which didnt like a curb drifting. Im not sure what happened but now the steering wheel is turned a little to the left when the wheels are pointed straight forward. I have a few theories. One it might of broken some teeth. But I would think there would be a little slop in the steering. Two it might of jumped a few teeth. Not sure if thats possible but im gunna try and get it up on some jack stands and maybe pop it open and take a look. Any ideas anyone?? Things i should not do?

easy fix...get an alignment....... it happens from time to time....hitting a pothole can cause that.... when you get an alignment, they automatically center the steering wheel, and ceter the wheels to the steering wheel

weak??? think about how your head would feel if it got rammed into that curb going however fast you were going with 2700-3000lbs of weight slamming it into the curb... i wouldn't call it weak, just not designed for the fuckup you made
