have you tried a tyre shop to see if they can just do a wheel alignment?
sometimes its just something gone loose.
i understeered into a kerb at 80kph, buclked both wheels on that side and it wobbled liked hell (About 5cm of movement at 10kph) with straight wheels back on.
a wheel alignment fixed my algnment problems 
God was on my side as if i had climbed the kerb i wouldve hit a pole  it wasnt even a hard kerb either.. one of those 45 degree angle ones that you can drive up slowly

If the shock's or springs have any damage you'll want to swap them in pairs. By the sounds you may have only bent the mounts, so depending on how far out it is, you may be ablt to do like terra said, or bend the mounts back some what and get it done. Is the control arm bent? Ah well best of luck mate.

everything looks straight when i take the wheel off
however when i get someone to turn the steering both ways the shock and spring assembly rotates off center
when i put the wheel back on it looked much better (the shocks had let the hub down while it was jacked) its difficult to see whats broken or bent cos everthing looks straight!!
