Default fiseta mk3 suspention problem

Hi earlier this week everything was fine till i hit a pot hole (more like a quarry) anyway the tire burst and i cracked the rim so i fitted the stepney and drove home. on my way home the steering gittered and felt weird but i thought it was due to the stepny being 2 in smaller in size.

After i fitted 2 tires of the same size in the front the steering still gittered a lot and it feels like it has a mind of it s own . I jacked the car and nothing seems to be broken except the shock is leaking oil but the spring ain t broken and the balljoints and wishbone look fine. then i noticed that the wheel seems angled it s leaned towards the inside from the top like it has camber lots of it.

Any ideas what might be wrong cause i don t want to start changing parts blindly
