was doing 60 on a 35 turn, it was raining, i lost control, spinned around, and finally slided into a curb parallel with my passenger side. rear wheel hit the curb 1st, then the front, then the rear wheel of the driver side also landed onto the crub. towed the car home, found out the following:

rear lower control arm (passenger side) smashed into /\ shape;rear knuckle (passenger side) borke into TWO PIECE;rear upper front control arm (passenger side, shortest one) has some damages, but still in original shape... maybe got hitted by the wheel.rear right wheel totally trashed...front right wheel damaged. fixable.

that's the only visual damage. so far. the front suspesion pieces seems to be fine.im trying to source parts in junkyard and replace the broken parts. if you have the parts i wanted let me know. thanks.

questions: any other possible damage i should aware? drive axle? tie rod? coilovers? unibody frame damage?

thanks alot.

rear lower arm smashed. knuckle in 2 pieces.

rear right wheel...
