I was driving home in the rain and took a turn too quickly and hitting the curb causing my back left wheel to break and pop the tire with it. I was only a black away from home so I had no trouble getting there. I bought a new tire and wheel and finally took the car off the jack expecting to drive it right after. When it was down I noticed the wheel is bent in and I cant figure out why its like that. Its either the axel is bent from the impact and could be expensive or the wheel hub is bent in. Any help from anyone whos had trouble like this before?? I can have pictures up in a day.
-Thanks

Wow you hit hard and I'm sure you have bent something. Have you put it on jack stands and removed the wheel so you can check for damage. You need to slide under it and look for damage? Comparing components from the other side you should able to get a idea what the damage is.

Just to make it easier on whoever reads this thread, here's his tire and rim.

You'll be able to see what's out of geometry. Rear suspension parts aren't really too expensive. All over the net, ebay, etc.

If you can replace the components yourself, you'll be ok.

Just make sure that the mounting points on the frame are still ok. If not, fix them before you mount up new components.
