+1. i'm thinking that 'minor hit' jostled something in the front end that it shouldn't have. if it's affecting both steering directions and throwing a steering sensor code, i'd be breaking out the tape measure on the front main support points and measuring the x's to check for everything to be square or not. i expect you're going to find something off somewhere.

might even need to consider bringing it to a body shop for them to check on a frame machine. and alignment just checks that the wheels are square in reference to each other. it assumes that the vehicle chassis and all suspension mounting points are straight.
