Title: front end damage, wheel bearings?

I had a low speed crash now front wheel has cant and almost touches fork. Had to pull caliper so wheel could turn freely. Forks look ok but I am no expert. Pulls a bit at low speed. How do I proceed? Pull wheel and check axle and replace bearings?

At the minimum, I'd say your front axle is bent.

You may need to remove the front wheel, axle and forks as a unit due to that.

Also make sure to check that the stop lugs on the steering head haven't been bent/cracked.

Thanks. Any advice on axle interchangeability?
