I'm fed up with this....
 
Happy New Yeat Yall.. ha ha ok, well i need new front tires again, its only been 3 months, the front end of my car is still F*%ked up from the accident, and now im really pissed, what would a bent sway bar casue? excessive tire wear? (both tires) i know the handleing isnt the same anymore. when the shop did an alignment the steering wheel wasent straight.

A sway bar shouldn't have anything to do with tire wear unless it is REALLY bent in the middle, enough to cause considerable upward (possibly downward but even less likely) force to effect the camber of the car. That means that the swaybar which is usually only in effect during car sway (slalom/transition/turns), would have to be in effect all the time or a majority of it.

It is possible that the front end of the car bent which would mean that no matter what you do, the alignment will never be right. Or, just the k-member got messed up. Obviously, your fix for the former is to to have a shop straighten the chassis w/ a chassis straightener and for the latter, a new k-member (that time to get a nice aftermarket one). A good way to see if things are screwy is to see if your wheelbase is the same on both sides. Usually the wheelbase won't be the same but if there's a big difference, well... I would also check to see if the tie-rods bent, because the steering wheel should be straight.

replace tie rods if bent...check for bent a arms...bushings in good shape? then re-align. other than that, your subframe could be tweaked.
