How can I align my front wheel?

[um123]

Hello everyone,
I bought this bike second hand a while back, and I've realised my front wheel is very misaligned (Pics attached), it looks much worse when I am riding though.
Can anyone help me out?
I've heard it needs to be 'dished', if so what would equipment would I need for that?

Thanks!

If this was a rim brake set up, I would think that you would just need to loosen the QR, centralise the wheel using your hand and retighten.

Having disc brake, it might need further tweaking in this area.

Does the wheel spin in a constant plane?

Weird, could have had a bash which has caused this. Turn the bike upside down and remove the wheel. Sight down the frame. Does the drop out align with the rear?
If it is the wheel are the spokes tight? Any play in the axle?
New fork will solve it if the former. Spoke key or possibly new bearings or just adjustment for the latter.

If you fit the wheel the other way round does it sit the same but the other way?

Yeah, the wheel spins fine, maybe very slightly off plane when I look at it from above, can't really tell as its minimal, I will give your suggestion a try though
Thanks

Will give this a try too

As an afterthought it’s quite unusual to see a fork like this on a hybrid, I’m guessing this is what it is. So I’m assuming it’s a budget bike. Budget bikes often don’t have very good QC on components so it could be faulty manufacturing in which case a replacement is the cure. Shouldn’t be expensive.

if the forks aren't bent, then maybe you are aligning the wheel to the disc calipers, rather than getting the wheel straight in the drop outs and then aligning the calipers to the disc - simply slack off the mounting bolts, apply the brakes and then tighten bolts carefully
