Default Tire wear on the inside of front driver side tire

Hi everyone,
I just got my car realigned and I noticed that the car was still turning where ever it wanted. I went back and the mechanic and I noticed that the front driver side tire had wear on the inside of the tire, new tire too... He said that the strut was bent, although he wasn't sure and it wasn't noticeable. On a drive from Southern Cali to Nor Cal, I picked up a Porsche mechanic who said that the struts could be adjusted or replaced. My question is should I go for the adjustment or the replacement and is it only the strut? or could it be another issue. Also on that same side I slid out on ice at Lake Tahoe and hit a iron storm drain that cracked my rim (since been replaced) could that have caused the problem? Thanks for the help.

I would do the struts then see what happens from there. Also have the control arm checked good for bends.

Change the front struts. Usually best to replace in pairs.
