Default Slid on LCA, bent rear suspension?

Hey guys,
I was driving down the road the other day, and my wheel studs decided to snap. I'm not sure exactly what this was due to (aftermarket lugs on steelies, overtorquing with an impact, I dunno). My car came to a stop with the wheel off the car and my LCA contacting the pavement. Im afraid the LCA may be bent, but Im not sure. Ill be replacing it soon. Anything else that I should check? It slid only about 3 or 4 feet on the LCA at most.

How is your rotor? That didn't touch the ground when your wheel came off? Or drum if your still old school

Haha yeah thank goodness I have drums. Its a '98 DX it didnt touch at all. I was parked beside a WRX the other day and admiring how nice his brakes were and how nicely they filled up the space in his rims. Well, today I am very happy that I did not have a brake setup like that, or I would've had alot more damage when I dragged my rotors down the freeway
