If you hit hard enough, the toe in or camber angles could be off. Might be worth a check at the alignment shop. Doesn't take much to knock the IFS steering out of whack.

I might take a look at the idler arm as well. Pushing the wheel from the side like that is a great way to bend one. If that is the case, they are not expensive. I would, however, invest in an idler arm brace like the one from Downey Off Road. I put one on many many years ago and idler issues are no more.
