Curbed Wheel
Story.
i was driving and i guess i was going pretty fast in a 25 mph turn. while turning i understeered and my tires gave out so i slide into the curb at maybe 10 mph or so. my fender is damaged and my disk slotted rotors broke and cracked into pieces while my brake caliper is hanging with no brake pads with fluid leakin. also my rim seemed to have a damaged spoke along with curb scratches (no positive camber or anything). my airbags also deployed.. also after taking off the f'ed up rim i see the A arm bolt or something broke and such. my dad towed the car to his mechanic.
but now the question is, i think they replaced the parts all and supposedly aligned it. but the car doesnt feel the same, it still pulls to the right a lil if i let go of the steering wheel. and also no body repair has been done yet either. when i turn the wheel all the way to the right i hear a scratchy noise as if the wheel is scraping the fender or so. also the passenger wheels position seems to be shifted alittle forward from where its sopose to be. i asked my dad why it is the way it is, and he told me my bar or whatever he described to me is bent and it will cost 1000 dollars or so to replace. so they are going to do another solution and buy a camber kit or some **** and try to like rig it up so it will run right but i dont want that. and i thought a camber kit will only allow the wheel to have positive and negative camber so when he told me this i was like wtf? how would that help.
anyone has any ideas as to this?
PS. from the front passenger wheel to my front lip is damaged. and also my dad said my mechanic isnt done with my car yet, but i want them to do if right.

It should say on the repair order. If you shattered your brake rotor from the impact, I would guess that the bearing took some damage. Your caliper bracket could also be bent.
Sounds pretty f*cked up... I would check to see if there's any frame damage. Sometimes you can't tell just by looking at it but it sure as hell sounds like you screwed **** up pretty bad

Thats some serious damage from just hitting the curb at 10mph.
To see if your wheel is scrapping the fender how some turn the wheel and look at it and see if its rubbing. If it is, just bend it so it won't rub, since its damaged already.
