Default rear right wheel is bent, not sure which part

Hi All,
I spun my car in slippery roads last week and found that my right rear is now pointed a bit to the left. I took a look, my amateur eyes could not find which part is bent.
I took picture. Included will be where the wheel hit the curb.
99 civic LX. 160t mi. stock. a bit lowered
I was able to drive home and have been driving to work (much slower and more careful now)

curb hit here

Not sure what this part is called. this is above the exhaust pipe

In your 6th photo down, you got only a partial photo of the lower control arm connected to the rear trailing arm. It might have a bit of a bend.

But the photo does show the wheel spindle orientation via the brake drum. It looks a little bent but without seeing another one in the same position it's really hard to tell. If the spindle itself bent on the trailing arm, you will have to replace the trailing arm. I've seen people try and get the massive torx bolts out that hole the spindle in the trailing arm to no avail. Easier to replace the arm.

It's possible you just knocked the toe arm out of alignment. If it were me I'd just take it to a shop and have an alignment to see if it can be fixed by adjustment, or if they spot any bent parts that need replacing.
