04 EM2 Slammed into curb, bent tire.
A few nights ago i was driving like a jack *** and took a turn too shard im my 04 EX and spun the car 180 degrees and crashed into the curb. After a quick inspection i thought everything was ok and started to drive away when i noticed my rear end was sliding by itself. I quickly pulled over on a side road and realized my rear driver-side tire was bent inwards. basically it was like this:
All my tires are still rotating, it's just that rear driver-side one is pushing my rear end. The impact was pretty significant though, i was going about 60 and slid and caught traction which threw me into the curb. After jacking up my rear end and removing both my tires, i saw that the spindle/hub that was holding ym tire was completely bent in.
If you look you can tell the whole thing is out of alignment. After looking closer i think i could the problem, which would be this bar:
and this is the damage:
This is the rear end of it where it's attached to the strut bar:
basically i have to go to the junkyard/shop/dealership and purchase that bar, which, unfortunately, i don't know the name of. If anyone has diagrams or know what it is that i need to replace I would gladly appreciate any help.

ah ok, so i should replace my trailing arm. That shouldn't be too much of a problem right? Do you think i should also replace the lower and upper control arm?
P.S. do you have the legend to that diagram so i can figure out what everything else is too?

yea just find your make and model and then go to Rear Lower Arm.
Honda part numbers:
52371-S5A-A50 Left Rear trailing arm kit (comes with the lower control arm)
52390-S5D-810 Rear Upper Arm (ABS)
I got the part numbers from San Leandro Honda Parts http://www.slhondaparts.com but they don't have the best prices.
