Castor? Are you sure you don't mean camber? Two bolts that hold the strut to the knuckle is what's adjusted for camber. If she hit it, perhaps the bolts shifted, in which case, you should re-align it. If it is Castor, ... something is bent.

If one wheel points straight but the other points in a different direction, its a problem with the "toe". It could be a damaged tie rod or tie rod end, control arm, or knuckle like others have said.
You won't really know 'til you tear into it.
