take it to a wheel alignment centre, they should be able to tell you straight away.
when i hit a curb at about 25-30mph my steering was completely out and the bloke at the wheel alignment centre knew straight away it was the shock..

Ah, well I did something similar, bent the bottom wishbone, anti-roll bar and the front shock, replaced all of them and it was fine.
