problems with rear left wheel after a bit of spirited driving
i was doing some spirited driving in a factory lot when i lost control long story short i pulled a 180 and the back right whell hit a curb.
the wheel has a few scratches on it and the tire is a bit scraped up but the wheel is now really werid. it seems to have a very werid camber problem. the top sticks out and the front sticks in, causing the tire to rub against part of teh suspension. and is wearing the inside of the tire out. the damage to the tire is not to great (i only drove for a little bit after the incident) i think its just an alignement problem or do i have a bent control arm. any ideas and how much do you think it will cost to get it fixed?
also the steering wheel is a bit messed up to, has to be turned to the left a bit to go straight, mad pulling to the right.

Sounds like you bent something on the suspension which is throwing your Toe/camber out of whack. If you think it is your LCA, it will probably cost you around $75-100 for a new one or go to a junkyard and get one there cheaper.
Same thing happend to my car a few years back. Wet road, spun my car and hit my right rear on a sidewalk. Bent/damaged linkages. Also check your disk brake.
The steering is messed up because of the added friction on the right side. It is possible that the wheel is turned to the left (rear steering is opposite) now, being that everything is out of whack. Good luck
well i had a shop look at it, they say that i need to replace the rear right suspension cuz its bent.
sound expensive. well its off to the junkyard to find some cheaper parts
