Default bent rear wheel, can i just realign it

*updated with pics below

Hey Guys,

I'm at work now and just want to get some ideas for later. Basically i spun out in the rain and hit a curb with my left rear wheel and the wheel is now bent in. i put on the spare but it is all still bent, so it's not just the rim.

Can i just realign something in the rear suspension or is there always a part that will have to be replaced?

If anyone can point me in the right direction i would appreciate it. just want to get a game plan together for when i get done work.

Thanks HT!

You can only adjust it so much with an alignment, you need to replace whatever is bent. When I get cars at work that have been in accidents they never align right unless everything that was bent has been replaced.

This is the piece that looks bent. Can someone tell me the name of it and possible the part number?

Thanks
