Front right tire rubbing against coolant reservoir after a collision?

Has anyone else had this occur? It doesn't look as if the reservoir itself has moved, but either IT has moved...or I screwed up the front-end alignment that badly. It only does this during right turns. Right now my only option is to put the spare on....then go buy a set of slightly smaller wheels tomorrow. Does anyone think that getting a front end alignment would solve the problem?

Take the wheel off and find a new way to mount the washer fluid reservoir. It's only a small plasic thing, I don't see how it can be that hard to just relocate it.

It sounds like you still have serious unibody damage. How severe was the damage? Who repaired the vehicle? Was it measured using a computerized measuring system. I am Vice President of a collision repair facility in NJ so I speak from experience when I say although there may not be appear to be damage to the naked eye and your sheet metal may fit, that does not mean there is not damage to the unibody. Find yourself a professional with a computerized measuring system to measure your vehicle. Moving the resevoir may be a quick fix to something that could become a serious problem.
