If the rotor was at an angle you possibly bent the rear swaybar and lower control arm. It is also possible that you just pushed one side of the mounting bolts (to the rear frame) of the lower control arm to the farest position.

It sounds to me that you broke a rear tie rod. The tie rod may have broken causing you to loose control. I had a tie rod snap like a pencil on a brand new 1989 I once owned.

You could also pull off both your rear wheels and start comparing the differences between the two sides to help figure out which parts have been bent or pushed out of alignment.
You should look at getting at least the parts you know will have to be replaced from GM Parts House to cut down on the repair bill.
This part looks to the main piece connected between the upper and lower control arms and is referred to in the service manual as the suspension knuckle.
