1993 4x4 pickup steering issues

I have a 93 4x4 3.0L that was hit on the driver's side front wheel while parked. Now when I drive the inner tie rod on that side rubs on the frame. I have replaced the inner and outer tie rods on that side, hoping busted joints would cause the rubbing. It still rubs. Any ideas? Nothing looks bent. Pitman arm or relay rod? What should I try first? Thanks

Bent frame. Its pushed the control arm back so the steering arms are touching the frame.

Thanks for the reply. This is possible but the impact to the wheel seems very light. The wheels were pointed straight when I left the truck, I come back and they are pointed to the left. No wheel, body or tire damage. Just the original concerns listed above. Could a low speed impact do such damage?

Turns out it was a bent relay rod. Covered under relay rod recall....

I think the latest info was not known until after the fact. Your call was a good guess, though. That's what I would have thought, too.
