Really stupid mistake ....but... i was "drifting" front tire went up on the ramp to the curb...good... still fishtailing 240 is correcting..... the rear driver side tire hit the curb hard and popped up on it to correct itself to safety. Now my driver side rear tire is bent in at the bottom --drivable-- but squealing and somethings bent just happened today.. Not a big car person but now getting to be one im asking you all what is it i may need to get this fixed and how much will it run me...... briefly looked at by two mechanics they said it would most likely be the control arm bent but they did not put it up just yet they checked on the ground. please do tell of similar stories so i know im not gonna get cheated.

It could be the control arms or it might even be a damaged subframe. If you need rear control arms I have some for sale in the classifieds here.
