Hey guys

so I have a 91 s13 with a sr and I was racing my friend by our work and i had something fly in the middle of the road and avoided it but not before rubbing my tire hard off the curb (no damage to the actual car) and ever since then I drove away and my passenger side (where it hit) feels really unbalanced, makes noise and feels weird. I looked under the car and such but didnt notice anything... just got a whole new rack and tie rods and was going to take my car to be aligned but I think maybe the tie rod broke? how can i find out exactly?

By looking at the tie rod and seeing if it's broken. Seeming "unbalanced, makes noise, and feels weird" doesn't tell us much.

So you were racing, avoided said item and hit the curb? If you don't really know what you're looking at I'd just take it to the shop and pay them money.

What noise is it making?

If a tie rod broke you would not be driving it still. You probably would have crashed.

You could start by lifting up your car and trying to wiggle the tire top/bottom and left/right. Thats a way to check for some ball joint, tie rod, or bearing play. Coulda bent your control arm or something..take a good look.
