Default '96 Camry Steering Screwed up

So I got in a little accident, and i hit a pole with my passenger side front wing. I've replaced the lower ball joints on both sides, both struts, the tie rod end on the passenger side. The passenger side wheel is still out of alignment, and I can't seem to figure out what is wrong. I would like to avoid pulling the whole steering rack, since the driver side wheel is still properly aligned. Any one have any ideas as to what could be going on?

You should check all the bushings in the rack. if you have nailed a pole with any sort of amount of force you could have bent the internals of the rack. check all the mounting points for the rack and make sure that the bushings are in tact and not falling out. I had someone in my shop the other day with bad bushings, replaced them and re-aligned, sloved the issue.

The chassis hit the pole or tire?

You check the rod between the end of rack and tie rod end at steering knuckle?
