Bent frontend

I was looking at my bike today and I noticed one of my front wheels in bent in. Anybody have any suggestions on what I should check, because I don't feel like running it and ruining the bearings. ANyone?

I mean like bent in at the top. Like the top is more in than the bottom. I'm pretty sure it's not the tierod but I'll check. Anything else it oculd be?

it could be a-arms but its highly doutfull if u didnt notice it

to check the bearing get teh front of teh quad off the ground and try to shake the wheel. if you can move it around it is most likely the bearings. If not, an a-arm may be bent. if it is the bearings, i would not suggest riding on them. you could cause further damages to teh spindle or hub.
