So i was driving in the hills of Camas WA and it had just snowed, i was taking a left turn too confidently, lost control, slid to the right and hit my back right wheel into a curb. The whole tire isn't standing straight, but at a out 1-1:30 (the little hand on a clock). I'm no car expert so let me know what you think is wrong and what i should do. Oh, and is it safe to drive on?

With an AWD system, I would have it checked out by a perfessional before driving it a bunch. Most likely you have bent control arms or other suspension components.

its probably a bent control arm, because when turning, the car was fishtailing like it would with a flat tire.
