+1.

The bike doesn't care which way the bar or stem are pointed.

When a bike tracks to one side it's usually a bent fork. It could also be a bent rear triangle.

If you're super lucky, it might be that the front is pulled partway out of the dropout, but that would be only sligtly short of a mirricle.
