Lightbulb Steering wheel turn right so the car go straight forward, what's happening?

This the my situation with JAZZ GE6 2008.
1.) I have to turn my steering wheel to the right so that the car can go straight forward.
2.) At the car is rest, and when I return the steering wheel to centre, the 2 front wheels both almost 0 camber angle.
3.) The rear right wheel has positive camber angle. The rear left wheel has 0 camber angle.
4.) A little bent on the rear torsion beam.

Can these be the factors in this situation??

What I can do to fix this problem?
Should I replace the rear torsion beam?

Thanks!

Do you have more info on how your car got into the condition it's in? Was it in an accident? Did you drive up over something?

As far as the rear of the car goes. Are the wheels bent? If not, it's a safe guess that you should replace the rear i-beam with a known good replacement that isn't bent too. We need more info about the front steering. It sounds like there's problems either with the steering rack or at least the tie rod ends. More info would really help.

keung0726 - Please start at the 'beginning' of your story.

With things appearing to be bent / twisted, were you in a crash or was the car flipped over during the riots?

Steering problem

Since the rear wheels are bent I would fix that before doing more than examining the front end. In a small car front versus back wheels can get a little confusing as to which is at fault.
