Hey guys,

I was driving around and I hit something in the road. This jolted my car pretty good. It punctured my rear drivers tire on the outer part. I thought everything was fine but when I drove it around. The alignment was all tweeked. And the rear driver side felt like it was swaying when I turned the wheel. When you look at that back tire, the bottom of the wheel sticks out really bad, and the upper part of the wheel is stucked under the fender well. It has really bad camber. I checked the shock but I did not see anything leaking. Could the shock still be blown? Now, I don't know to much about suspension but my current setup is Skunk2 coilovers, Tokico Blues, and a 22mm Skunk2 sway bar. If ANY of you guys can give me an idea on what to look for or replace, I would greatly appreciate it. THANKS!

Just get alignment, it'll fix your camber which got dealigned during inncident.

I went to a place that does alignments and they told me that it isn't the camber or alignment. The rear driver side use to sit up a little higher but now it is sitting lower than before. The wheel is tucked. Something is up. Anyone know? Thanks

It's possible that you bent you control arm.

bent LCA or UCA. have the jockers at the alignment shop tell you which one it is. or go under the car and have a look. if you are really unlucky, the unibody is tweeked and the mounting points for the control arms are out of alignment. Or your spindle is bent.

No the LCA and UCA is not bent. I measured all the arms to check for any bends. NOTHING! I do believe is the shock because that rear corner is sagging.
