Not to worry! Just a few dollars, and you have a new item to add to the upgrade list.
We need proof the wife is OK. A picture with todays date will do fine.

Looks like you bent the trailing or "traction arm" probably from some insane wheel hop you must have had

Yea, the title is kind of scary. It looks as if a soccer mom took a whack at it. My suspension has lots of stiff stuff. Let's see:
Tokico HP Struts
Eibach Springs
Greddy Front Strut Bar
Cusco Rear Strut Bar
Rear Hatch Bar
ST Sway Bars
BIC Sway Bar End Links
BIC Nylon Rear Sub-frame Spacers
Full Nylon Bushing Kit
I don't think I need too much crazy shit, no?

Yea but adding new items at this point cost lots of money, which brings an answer to your other question. I don't think you want to see a pregnant wife now do we? I have other pics though.
UPDATE!!!
Took some pics from under car and with wheels off. Looks normal, no?
Some weird shit I noticed. When car was backed out of driveway the wheel looked as it did on the first page. Car was moved forward into the garage and the wheel looks straighter, WTF?? Is something loose? I knocked, tugged all of the suspension arms. I'm clueless :dunno:

compare it to the other side, it may not be that obvious, and it may just be a loose bolt, which is what it sounds like. because if the tire moves back and forth a lost adjustment bolt could do this... happened to my friend driving home...
Put the jack under the Hub as close to the lower control arm pivot as you can, jack it up so the wheel is just off the ground then grab the wheel at the front and rear and see if it will deflect/wiggle.
You need to do this as described above.

I compared it to the passenger side and it was not different. Maybe it could be the adjustment bolt, it's very difficult without a lift.

Did that and it looks to move a bit or maybe its my eyes. What do you think is causing it?
There is a spherical bearing and a bush in the Hub where the arms bolt on these wear and will let the wheels follow their own paths
The arms appear straight but it's hard to tell from the pics.

Ouch Manny, that is harsh. GL with finding the problem, LMK if there is anything I can do to help.

Thanks IJ, and the arms felt very straight
Look on the subframe above the differential, see if there are any cracks. I had the same problem and it turned out my subframe had snapped in to two pieces being held together by the diff mounts. Its hard to see with out close inspection and the wheels will cock back and forth like that. Good luck
