Need Help - front wheel problem

Hello all,

For reference i have a 1970 f250 4x4

Yesterday on my way back from Home depot i went over a pot hole at descent speed while taking a left turn.
After that is started to steer funny and feel super funny.
Now it looks like my front left tire is slanted inwards.

I am wondering what this can be, a broken ball joint, u joint ? etc and what i need to do to fix it from tools etc.

Thank you for the help!

It could be any of those... we won't be able to determine what tools are necessary to repair unless we know what is wrong. That's for you to figure out... jack up the LF, put 'er on jackstands, and start wiggling, jiggling, and use them eyeballs in your head.... both of them!

Mine is at the same angle as yours except that mine rolls and drives fine. I did not tear in to it yet. I did notice today that my driver side wheel is not centered in my fender opening. It sits a little forward. All of my bushings underneath need replacing so I am going to do that and then see how it sits.
