MY steering wheel was turned half rotation upside down when it would be going straight...i had someone take a look at the alignment and he said that the steering arm had been bent and i would have to get it fixed somehow before he could do the alignment?? i have no idea what this means

The best thing I can tell you is to replace both tie rod ends, then replace the steering knuckle on the side of the car that made the hardest contact with the median. You can purchase a used steering knuckle from www.tacreationsusa.com
