S13 hitt curb...

[s14_drifter8]

Ok so there was snow on the road. I was gong to school one night and the roads were slippery. As I approached the school driveway i slowed down but the car didn't respond. What happened next was like watching a horror movie. The car slid right towards a curb. All I can do was watch as my S13 hit that curb. BOOOM . So now the front passenger wheel looks like it's been moved back towards the rear wheel --> (0 )

I know the lower control arm is bent but is there a chance that the torsion bar's bushing maybe busted from the impact?

One more question: is the lower ball joint built into the control arm or is it replacable? Cuz my driver side wheel has a lot of movement from the ball joint. I can actually move the wheel in and out about an inch

I'm a noob when it comes to suspension work. If I can get some help here I will do a write up on the process.

Theres a chance, but from looking at this picture theres no telling what else is broken.

Take the wheel off, and start inspecting. Maybe provide us some pictures of the actual pieces so we can give you a better judgement.

I'm also looking for a parking brake cable that runs from the lever to the rear cables.

If your tire begins to wear because of rubbing against the wheel well it is only the control arm. Does it pull hard to that side when you brake?

The car always pulls to that side.

I wold take the wheel off and inspect everything like whiterps13 said and post some pics if you still have questions. That's the best way to tell what's messed up.
