Hey guys I hydroplanes into a curb a few days ago which caused the toe on the rear passenger tire to be bent. I'm using my phone to post so I can't attach a pic but if you can imagine it this is basically the alignment of my car ......... | \

So I have replaced the strut, and the controll arms (upper and lower) and it has helped some but it still looks bent some. What I'm asking is what piece of the rear suspension controls the toe of the tire? I don't wanna have to put more money into it than I already have trying to experiment and find it on my own

 

If you bent the hub that could cause a problem... as well as a bent rim.

 

There is a 'toe arm' in the rear for adjusting toe that you might check. But, if you still have other bent stuff that could also be the cause....

 

The hub is a good idea that didn't cross my mind. The rim I thought about but then stopped bc I really don't wanna replace it lol. I found the toe arm but it's so small with a lot if flex I don't think that would have bent, but the lower sway bar it's connected to could be an option. Which do you guys think would be the first choice to look to replace.... The hub, sway bar, or rim


Actually now that I think about it there is a crossmember below the car that secures both lower controll arms ( passenger and driver) to the car. Is it possible that that may have bent from the lower controll arm being pushed into it? Or would the hub be a better bet? I'm just brainstorming here, throwing out ideas.

 

If the toe arm is small with a lot of flex, it will be the first thing to bend, not something robust like the knuckle (which I guess is what you are calling the hub?). The sway bar is not connected to the toe arm. Honestly I would not think the hub, the sway bar or the rim would be something to check...

Can you take a picture to show what you are referring to?

If the crossmember is bent, then most likely the camber will be off, not the toe (depending on how it's bent)...just FYI
