Hit curb :( alignment screwed

Well, so the other night I ran up a curb while I was turning. Was distracted and didn't turn the wheel quite enough so it hit. Car is a beautiful 1994 E420. The passenger-side wheels made contact with the curb but the body of the car is untouched.

Problem now is... my passenger front wheel is out of alignment (and possibly the rear passenger as well). I fixed some of the wobble by changing the wheel hub/knuckle. Also the center link and tie rods were replaced.

As of now, I noticed that when I turn the steering wheel all the way to the left (driver side) the inside of the wheel is making contact with the springs.

Just wondering if anyone might know what part of the undercarriage may cause or affect the gap between the wheel and spring. I have also adjusted the tie rod to create a gap, but I know that this is not the problem. Something else is bent or out of spec.

Thanks, any help is appreciated.
