I noticed my rear passenger side wheel is slanted inward significantly more than the rear driver side wheel. Could this be a HUGE money fixer ? or if alignment is really bad, could this be the effect ?

I want to get new wheels/tires within a week, but want to get to make sure this is ONLY an allignment issue ...

Yes, its called camber. And, it is one of the measurements taken/adjusted during an alignment. Unless you've hit something or lowered the car, you should be able to adjust it to within spec.

There is some camber adjustment in the rear. Take it for an alignment.

yep, i was coming over a hill at night pitch black, ran into a puddle about 6 inches deep a lane across, saw it at the last second. Tried to steer out of it but it was too late, back wheel caught the curb.

Did you fix it yet, and if so, what was busted under there although we have a good idea what was already?
